shorter time to build the Lisp in these packages then load my

individually, this archive contains all of them immediately. [[https://aryadevchavali.com/resources][here]].
On my current machine after downloading the archive it takes around
209s to completely build the system including both package and custom
Lisp compilation. Once this is done Emacs takes less than 1 second to
boot.

is asynchronous anyway.

You can do the last bit if using Emacs: just open the directory where
you've compressed the configuration in ~dired~, open the remote
directory in another split, then =M-r= ~dired-rsync~ to copy it over.
You get a cute Little progress indicator in the mode line as well!
