How to Retopologize IMM Brush from zBrush for texturing in Painter?

How would you retopologize and texture this IMM rope made from zbrush to Painter? I'm planning to put it in one of my environments in UE5, thoughts?

I'd do it in zbrush. Like this:

make a copy of the subtool
use dynamesh with a relatively low resolution to weld the new subtool into a single mesh
now use zremesher to retopologise the final mesh into the desired resolution
as a final step I'd bring it into maya and UV it.

Normally I would avoid making a hipoly of a rope like this. I would make a straight section of rope and then bend it after I have made the texture.
