Why each option
To efficiently deploy consistent customizations and configuration data to multiple distinct Dynamics 365 Sales instances, the Package Deployer tool is the most suitable method.
Exporting a managed solution via 'Customize the System' is a manual process for a single solution and does not facilitate deploying configuration data or orchestrating multiple components into a robust deployment package for numerous instances.
The Dynamics 365 Package Deployer is a tool specifically designed to bundle multiple solutions, configuration data, and other files into a single deployable package, ideal for applying standardized configurations across several distinct environments with minimal custom code.
Creating customizations with metadata in Organization Services involves using the Dynamics 365 SDK/API to programmatically define or modify metadata, which would require extensive custom development for deployment rather than leveraging a built-in deployment tool.
Writing a Web API to move customizations implies significant custom coding to manage the deployment process, directly contradicting the requirement for 'minimal custom code and custom connectors' and being less efficient than a specialized deployment tool.
