VCSA server profiles are a great way to configure all of your VCSAs the same way.
Configurations can be exported to a json, modified and then imported to different vCenters to ensure consistency. Another benefit is that you can also use them for Desired State Configurations to keep that consistency after installations.
The procedure for extraction is by API call but thankfully the Developer Section has an API Explorer that lets you easily connect and use the calls.
Enter the Developer Section from the menu:

Go to the API Explorer and choose appliance API and search for profile

Utilize Get to get the configurations and POST commands to export or input.

Hope this helps to ensure that you can maintain control of the configurations.
