How Can I factory Reset My Mac without Getting a Firmware Error

Last year, after I went to beta to try out the ventura, I got a message saying failed to personalize the software update. I made a time machine backup(Crucial by Micron 1 TB). The Apple store person said I had to factory reset or I wait for 1 day and they do it, so I decided to do it on my own and have the backup to restore everything after factory reset, but I got a rare firmware error thing, so I had to use my macbook air from 2019 to transfer the latest release version from my old to new computer. And then after that, everything went fine and my data is now is perfect. However, I don't want another firmware error like this, how do I avoid it if I have to factory reset and then time machine backup? In case, you got some rare firmware error, I used this Revive or restore a Mac with Apple silicon using Apple Configurator - Apple Support, however, you need another macbook, so just have some luck. I also have an example of this firmware error if factory reset fails, and use this If your Mac starts up to an exclamation point in a circle - Apple Support
