The approach I take, trying to use the same init file for 4 quite
different systems (including termux on Android at one point), is to have
a very small .emacs for each which sets up system specific variables
(e.g. paths and default face) and then loads the common init file. The
latter is managed/written in org but the .emacs (or equivalently
.emacs.d/init.el) files for each system are not as they are typically
just a few lines long.

I also try to minimize the use of customize but I do use it. For this,
I make sure that emacs doesn't use the init file for saving
customization information but uses a custom-file I specify.
