I think you are missing the point of this. It is not, nor should it be, your only backup. This is a cheap and easy method meant to cover a very narrow range of potentials.
1. Catastrophic Loss
Your HD fails and you have never made a backup. Your computer gets a virus and you don't have the password or 2FA to your cloud storage to restore. Your house burns down and the digital copies of your kids birth certificate and passwords that you didn't trust to put on the cloud burns up with your home server.
2. Escape Scenario
You have to evacuate your home suddenly due to natural disaster and you don't know if or when you will be able to return. Military invasion or civil unrest forces you to flee the country. The government finds out what you posted on nostr, they have locked all your KYC accounts, and they are coming for you so you need to run.
Are your car keys in your pocket? Then you are fine. You might be sad because you lost your 8 TB of recorded tv shows and sic memes but the essential, you are screwed without this, files are safe.
Your question about how to pass on essential information for love ones in case you die or become unable to is a complete different topic that generally involves a dead man switch.
