there are pitfalls, ive done this lots of times.
its also the method i use to back up my systems.
biggest pitfull if you are going from a spinning disk to a ssd is size usually.
clonezilla has an expert option on restore that you need to select when downsizing a disk.
easiest thing would be to empty the partitions you dont want after moving it somewhere else.
clone the disk, then use the expert option to make it fit the new SSD.
once you have done that enable there wear limiting options in fstab mount options and use tempfs for things like /tmp, /var/tmp
also implement a regular fstrim on the SSD partitions.
