A better, simpler-sounding plan is to enable better 2FA on your critical accounts. Doesn't this mostly fix your catastrophic scenario?

Oftentimes 2fa backup codes are slso stored in the password manager.
Or the password recovery for lost 2fa is secret questions (this is so awful,but see it often). And chances are those secret questions/answers might also be in the vault
Does anyone have a good solution to these issues for non techncial users? 1password etc + 2fa is great for even not super technical people.

But if it's ever breached I have no idea how you would get clear.

Sure but that's roughly equivalent to disabling or not having 2fa. You can still avoid the catastrophic scenario by not-doing that.
