I am trying to create levels for my casual 2d mobile game. I can create levels in individual scenes. But I was wondering if there is way to store all the prefabs required for a level in a scriptable object and load it at runtime. The challenge I am facing here is that I am not able to assign transform to scriptable object by drag and drop, I want this info to instantiate objects at a particular position and rotation. Is it possible to do, and is it a good idea to do?

template scenes are what your looking for.
you just save your scene and then every scene you make will have the objects.
if you really want to do it in runtime, just use a root prefab that has all the objects in its children.
scriptable objects are not to be used in this way.

Scriptable Object is not necessary for this, you can have a class that could store all prefabs using the Resources.Load method, and then at start of a scene you instantiate the desired prefabs

Please don't do that
Either use AssetBundles or Addressables
Resources.Load is a huge memory hit for no reason lmfao, especially without proper asset management and cleanup

Even if you do it only once at start? what would be the problem with that?

Unity themselves recommend to not use the Resources system anymore: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/assets-resources-and-assetbundles#5c7f8528edbc2a002053b5a7
