You will run into problems if destination drive has different sector size than your VM, as GPT header won't be aligned.

QEMU defaults to 512B sectors, which isn't true for many NVMe drives. There are some flags to change that. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/722450

I think it should be possible to make an image with many headers at different locations, so that it works on all types of disks at once, but I don't think any tools do it for you by default.
