I have installed older Apple OS systems on a startup drive then migrated that drive to my macpro tower as I was no longer able to run the older installer on the newer OS that came with the Mac Pro Tower.
Also most VAR engineers come into a production company and clone basic mac system drives to multiple computers. I agree there might be some gotchas under the hood but I see it done all the time. I would add that I rarely see the basic cloned drives blanketly installed as adequate for my needs. Perhaps these master clones are so basic they avoid in subtle compatibility issues. My concerns are largely with software licensees and those won't transfer to a new chassis in my experience. It wouldn't make sense for them to work as I'd have the ability to endlessly run the software on all my stations.
I recently battled a weird "missing vector" error on a BM 4K Extreme MacPro Tower. The solution was to create a new user while still in the new project window. It was very strange but once we did that I could then go back to my user settings without the error. The tech engineer found the fix somewhere then the very next day got a call from another client with the same issue. Turning off hardware allowed Avid to play in the QUI but turning on the hardware the error continued until we did the new user in project window. I tried creating a new user while in Avid but it didn't work. Not really your issue but falls in a same whacky category.
Wouldn't swapping the Kona3 card be as quick if not quicker to see if it follows the hardware. At least AJA will respond quickly with replacements if need in my experience.

Simple mouse clicks cause at lest 30 seconds of spinning beach ball. Disabling the hardware in MC eliminates the problem. Reenabling the hardware brings it back. Going back to previous startup drives running MC 7 on the same system don't have the issue.
I did a clean system install on one system and only installed MC and the AJA drivers. Still having the same problem. Versions of all software are identical to the systems that don't have this issue. Any ideas? Does it sound like 2 Kona cards have gone bad?
