Is a (ClockWorkMod) Backup any good after upgrading (to cyanogenmod)?



I'm about to do an upgrade from an OEM ROM to Cyanogenmod on a phone I have a lot of apps and settings on.

I know the guides always say "back up before upgrading in case it fails, then upgrade, you'll lose all your previous data". And I know that's the normal way it goes.

What I'm asking is if there is any possibility of putting any sort of pre-upgrade backup data to good use by recovering some of it in the new OS?
For example like how I can copy a lot of programs and AppData (profiles, settings etc) from one installation of windows to another.

In my case it would take a lot of extra work even after I use the play store to re-download all the apps. Not to mention some apps are not from the play store (they're for ex from fdroid or github). I'm also the kind of guy who would rather not back up my phone "to the cloud".

Cheers!
