Why not?
Suppose you create this key on behalf of Michael Jordan that is invisible and all that you have is a secret code that gives you access to the bunker. There is a 3-of-3 multisig quorum that basically controls this key identity but you operate it. And you start mirroring Michael Jordan material in this profile.
2 years later when Michael Jordan decides to join Nostr, he talks to the 3 signers and proves that he is himself (by publishing on other authoritative social media) and the 3 signers revoke your access and give the real Michael Jordan access, they can also just give him the key shard material directly and he can then assemble the private key himself locally.
Of course this gives these 3 entities access to Michael Jordan's key forever, but we're assuming they're independent and won't collude.
