I see you didn't get a reply on this so I'll hazard a suggestion...
There is a thread from April '21 about upgrading from 2.6.21 to 4.x.
This one in particular though also was about migrating computers.
In that thread, Geert offered a detailed method for making sure your
preferences and reports migrated to a new machine.
Consider following that advice in implementing setting up a backup/sync
for your use case.

There is another thread specifically about changing the location of
saved reports from the default, but I can't seem to find it. That
response was also from Geert talking about setting an environment
variable. (it is possible this info is on the Wiki as well, or can be
gleaned from it.)

Adrien

Hello-
First, let me say I’m a delighted user of GNUcash. I’m using it to keep the
financial records of a not-for-profit company that is listed as a 501c(7) with
the USA IRS, so it’s official 😊
I am trying to set up a way for someone else in our company to be able to take
over from me, if something should happen to me. After all, that’s kind of the
point of having a company – a company is something that should survive an
individual.
I can easily enough use a backup program on my GNUcash data files to copy the
data files to another user’s computer, and they can use those data files.
Our GNUcash data files are in their own directory which the next GNUcash user can
find by following simple File->Open style of instructions in the GNUcash
program.
But there are some custom reports which are located in the unusual location
%AppData%\GnuCash
This unusual location is obviously not included in the backup program for the
data files, and the backup/restore program can’t easily transfer those files to
the next user’s computer (because the %APPDATA% resolves to a different
location on the next user’s computer).
How can we easily backup/transfer/copy our custom reports from one computer to
another?
One potentially easy solution would be to have those custom report files
located in a subdirectory under the GNUcash data directory. But how to set up
GNUcash to use that, if it’s even possible?
