So if I understand non-destructive editing correctly GIMP will store a sequence of transformation instructions (basically 1 for each undo/redo operation) rather than overwriting the actual pixels each time? Ie no matter how much editing you do, the original input data is always preserved?
For the stuff that supports non-destructive editing, yes. It also allows you to easily update the transformation.
Unfortunately not everything supports it yet. Notably, resizing and rotating do not. Hopefully it will be added soon.
Would it theoretically be possible to replace the base image with a different one (of same dimensions)? Basically like a template file where you store a bunch of modifications, filters, etc that can be applied to any image...
I sometimes manually clean up scanned documents and if there's many pages I would love to apply the work done on one page to subsequent ones. If it doesn't look good the try only took a couple of seconds.
