iirc the profiles have some system specific paths here and there so some things will work while others will just be broken.
best thing to do is to use whatever exports and imports you can do, from bookmarks and extensions
I have two profiles extensively modified over the years but good news is almost most of them are in the user.js files so if it comes to that I think I can just copy them and manually add the rest
