I use it for Swift Backup only.
Would swift backup with Shizuku enough to not need root?
Hold up... So are you saying that I could use Shizuku / Swiftbackup, and it would do backup and restore of app data, just like when I used to have root and Titanium Backup?! That would be a game changer, I never fully trusted Google backups or Samsung Smart Switch to do the full job.
I tried and it seems root is needed to backup wifi passwords but I think I was able to do a local backup of an app.
Ahhh, just found this in the FAQ, sadly I think it's not possible to backup app data using Shizuku.

"The private app data in /data/data/ or /data/user/*/ that stores your app preferences, login info, databases, etc. This is the most important part to restore apps potentially with their state preserved.
Requirements: ⚠️ Root required for backup & restore ⚠️ Shizuku mode (ADB access) cannot read/write at these path"
