Samsung Smart Switch is your best option. It is probably the most 'complete' backup solution that doesn't require rooting.
I've used Samsung Switch for several phones. Saves ask the info I want. Texts, photos, contacts, apps, wifi info, etc. Restoring it is easy as well.
I use Nova Launcher so I just save it and restore afterwards on the new phone and the same layout is there.
Do you have a Samsung account friend? My Samsung phones have been destroyed in the past and even on a free plan everything has virtually been backed up. If you're unsure, trying logging onto Samsung. Any major mobile retailers can check for this as well.
Use Smart Switch and back it up on the PC.
Would maintenance mode be enough for repair shop?
I guess it would if the repair shops respected it. I am using my insurance to get the screen fixed so I have no idea where it ends up. They just have a big disclaimer which mentions that you should make a backup because the phone will most likely be factory reset.
