As regards new OS installation, if you choose to migrate your settings from the previous version of your OS which you can do via the migration assistant application from either your time machine backup or another mac computer, then your Voiceover settings will be important too. If, however, you choose to do a clean installation which erases your hard drive, then you will have to configure your Voiceover again unless, of course, you copy the exported Voiceover settings onto a usb pen drive and import them from there. Your exported Voiceover settings file is like another file which you can choose to export to a folder or drive of your choosing.
You are right about this list: we have all learnt from each other, and I have certainly been generously supported through my tribulations with Voiceover and the mac OS when I switched from Windows.
