For exporting data shoud we use scroll or pit with search after? Documentation says not to use scroll for deep pagination. Assume that the data which we are querying would not change.

I guess it will depend on which version you are using, but for Elasticsearch 8.4 the recommendation is:

We no longer recommend using the scroll API for deep pagination. If you need to preserve the index state while paging through more than 10,000 hits, use the search_after parameter with a point in time (PIT).
