Configure backup / drop-in-replacement ZWave USB stick

I recently tried to upgrade my Aeotec Gen5 stick to Aeotec 7 and brought the following idea to my mind: Can you have a stick configured as SUC/SIS for ‘in case of emergency’?

I could download the NVM from my Gen 5 and upload it to the Gen 7 stick.
So it seems I now have a drop-in replacement stick? I tried and it seems to work. (after pointing the Serial port to other stick in HA)
And… of course, if you don’t change anything else in S2 / S0 / authentication codes!

Or does every stick make a change in the network somewhere so this makes it a bad idea?

Kind regards!
