Why would this be bad?

The content of those dirs is dynamically generated and of variable and
often temporary nature. Thus, it shouldn't do any harm restoring them.
You do not want to reply system data without a reboot anyway.

Btw: "rsync -avxHSAX /source/ /target" will take care of it all, both
on securing and restoring. No need to operate with exclude lists and similar.
