Depending on the hardware you're moving to you may be able to get away with simply reassigning the interfaces and rebooting after for everything to start up properly

I have an external m2 ssd enclosure, can I put it in there and pull data off

You'll have to do a better job explaining your issue.

"Firewall toast" doesn't fit any SW or HW descriptions we can troubleshoot.

For a HW failure of anything other than the m.2 you can simply move the drive to another FW and boot it up as described above.

Data recovery is possible but complicated depending on the file system used and whether the m.2 partially failed or not.

Lastly, there's not much to recover. Mainly the config.xml and any third party configuration files such as the one used by adguardhome

Yes, but use a FreeBSD Live Boot Environment please :)

Linux based stuff won't get you far sadly...

And 100% AGREE with :
