Trusting closed source yes.
Commodity hardware is designed largely for networking. That makes it poorly suited for airgapping.
Generally I say it's a bad idea. Trezor is open source, and not too expensive for the 3. If you want to roll your own hardware, building something like a seedsigner is good, IMO a multi coin seedsigner would put all the hardware wallet vendors to shame.
Storing cold wallet keys on a drive is a bad idea, period. Everyone that ever had their keys stolen from their lastpass or some malware thought differently. You can come up with the best scheme in your head, and only in hindsight when you're weeping will you see your blind spot. Just write the damn things on paper.
