Not sure if the order of the modules is important. 
I could not find any definite statement but I have seen references to passing data to the next module which suggests it is.

BTW I use the following alias on the Mac to get the logging for TimeMachine:

alias tld="log stream --style syslog  --predicate 'senderImagePath contains[cd] \"TimeMachine\"' —debug"
