Given two slaves with identical releases and data, how portable are the

They are identical (or should be).
I've recovered a slave after hard drive failure several times simply by
stopping slapd on a different slave, and then copying the database from
that replica to the one with the new hard drive (note that you want to run
db_recover after stopping slapd, before copying over the files).
entryUUID, etc, *must* be the same on all systems for syncrepl to work
correctly.
