Watch out for

WordPress REST API limits can block the run, so add rate limiting checks before processing large datasets.
Sensitive credentials may leak if stored as plain text, use environment variables for all secrets.
GitHub repository permissions might reject pushes if the token lacks write access, verify scopes in settings.
Large media files will slow down the backup process, filter out attachments unless explicitly needed.
