How can I backup the list of F-Droid apps I have installed on my phone right now so i can just import that list on another phone and don't have to install each app manually?

Use NeoBackup from f-droid to do this, backup your apps and you can copy the backup to another phone or computer. You can restore it later when you need it

Does this work with non rooted phones too, and back up app data for F-droid apps still run into the back up limitations of non rooted phones?

Nope, for non rooted phone you might want to try Restic (I haven't tried it yet)

Edit

I just remember, there's APK Kit from f-droid repo, it doesn't need root access

Does APK Kit allow transferring user data, or does it just transfer the app?

I couldn't try it, because I can't grant access permission to user data on Android 13
