Give us a bit of information about your proposed setup? There may be a better way.
It's just a Moodle 3.4 site with customised Lambda theme on it. We are looking to duplicate it on demand as and when needed. So, looking for a quick, couple of clicks easy way to do this. We don't need to duplicate users or anything..only the site with content and theme.
Thanks
If I were a $ consultant on this 'project' (which am not, so this is 'food for thought' ... and worth nothing) ... I'd want to know more about 'content' .... easily said/typed ... just one word ... but ... I'd want some details.
And some info on ... once distributed/migrated or whatever, will those 10 or so sites ... is that where it ends? or do you plan on 'as is ... no support thereafter' ... etc.
Are these other sites with different FQDN's?

Check the migration documents - basically you need the moodle and moodledata folders and the database.
Maybe image the disk running the Moodle you want to duplicate. Then load the image on the 10 new machines. Update the Moodle config.php file according to the setups of the 10 new environments.
If you know what you are doing, this shouldn't be too hard. In a somewhat normal Linux, MySQL, php environment, I would first install the initial 10 Moodle's as fresh installs. These installs should all have the some plugins. Verify that all 10 are working.
Then, I would backup the original database and moodledata folders, and then restore these backups into the 10 other installations. You would need to know how to install the backups to the correct moodledata folder and the correct MySQL database. Given exact same server configurations, you would then have 10 identical Moodles until someone did something new on the original.
In theory, you could use rsync to keep all 10 sites synchronized. Upgrading moodle could be a little tricky because you would have to leave each Moodle's config.php file untouched. With time, you might be able to write your own script files to do much of the work.
Well, this is the general approach. Try #1 first and see if you have success. With success, by the time you do your 10th try you will probably have the hang of it.
(Others here might add or subtract to what I have said, especially if I mis-understood your need.)
On a good day, I can create a new copy of my production moodle in less than 30 minutes or so, and I am still a novice network/moodle administrator.
