I'm still new to QGIS so there's probably a better way, but one option
might be to save all your template layers to a dedicated project.

Then you can open both the template project and the real one at the
same time (in two separate instances of QGIS), and copy and paste the
styles between the two.  This would be most useful if the target layer
already exists and you just want to make the symbology or other styles
match the template.

You can also use the Browser pane to locate and expand the template
project (while your real project is open), which will reveal all its
layers. You can double-click on them to copy those layers into your
real project, where you can then modify them as needed.  This would be
most useful if you want the template layer's data source to be reused
in the real project, as well as the symbology and other details.

It's probably a bit clunky but I haven't come across any other
templating facility in QGIS yet.

Cheers,
Adam.
