The question mark terminating this statement seems dubious.

This appears to be a feature of Cisco routers.

copy running-config http://10.10.10.<laptop web server IP>

It should work and it's simple. What would be
some recommendations as to which minimal web server
I could run on a laptop (simple and small) to
just backup various router configs to?

www-servers/lighttpd is famously small and on my system all its dependencies are already installed. It has a USE=minimal flag you might also try, for fewer calories.

As a matter of practice I would not leave any webserver running on my laptop, or even installed, for longer than necessary. I would prefer to have a home or office webserver to which I could transfer these files and from which the router can obtain them. Rationally, I have no idea why I imagine one site to be more secure than the other.

Consider this installation-free alternative:
