Not necessary at all, it is a convenience largely.  If the layouts are an issue, they may persist whether you use a template or a standard project. Avoid including data, data sources whose location may change or is not accessible to all people in your organization would help.  If you have a base map for your organization, make sure it resides locally (on server perhaps) rather than relying on external sources. etc. Also, the less you include, the better, don't try to provide a template that covers all users.  Other elements, such as layouts, can be 'templated' and stored for access to people that need them Add a layout to your project—Layouts | Documentation  ...

There is no need to do things through a cursor. If you have a need to copy featureclasses from one gdb to another and you want to do it with some changes in the output name perhaps, look at existing tools and their code examples. Do recognize that many tools can be 'batched' without coding.

you use the tool in the link after you have chosen the format you want.  You might want to read up on GEOREF perhaps. You can skip angle since long/lat are already angular measures from 2 reference planes and also require a radius.  Some of the other systems have already incorporated these considerations. ...

perhaps... Convert Coordinate Notation—Data Management toolbox | Documentation  from there... GARS, GEOREF, UTM_ZONES, UTM_BANDS, USNG, and MGRS are single-string coordinate formats, meaning only one field contains the coordinate. ... View more

I didn't say an exact match, but the origin example is there origin_coord (Optional) Specifies the coordinate value for the lower left origin of the output grid feature class. If input features are specified, the default value is determined by the extent of the union of extents for these features. If there are no input features specified, the default coordinates are 0 and 0. which if you have input features, these are 0,0, otherwise, I assume you can specify your actual offset coordinate values here. ...
