Distribute cPanel configs on several VPS?

I publish collections of thematic sites (5 on a topic, 10 on another, etc.). The framework is the same, the content is mine or ours (groups of coauthors). I can consider each collection as a customer with several accounts. I wish to better organize all this as depending on the type of content the use load differs a lot. Also for security and back-up reasons. I wish to dedicate one VPS per theme. I can do that in developping my own DevOps system. I suppose I can also using cPanel on my local host. Upload the contents every day. And download the log files. Would that work ? and where could I find the information I would need (e.g. all the files cPanel is using and creates/maintains).
Many thanks.
