Agree, something so unique/complex it doesn't exist in books is a 100% certain way to ensure it will not be recovered when you die, have a stroke, or are otherwise incapacitated; and there is a good chance you forget or otherwise lock yourself out of them. More coins are lost due to overly complex setups than theft by far.

ABSOLUTELY. I'm very glad someone early on talked me out of letting my brain go down a rabbit hole of paranoid complexity. I think I was going to like buy an old laptop and re-install linux after every use, and import my seed phrase every time-- a seed that I had split and buried in a nearby park and another remote location.
