“Just to be clear. Using save-site-as-a-template with modern team sites or publishing sites is NOT supported. You can always find ways with tenant admin permissions to achieve things, but the fact that it's doable does not mean it's supported.
  
Any sites created with the template which has been produced with this method can have unexpected issues in the future, so provided steps should never be used.”
