They solved this with a feature called “Recovery Contacts” in iOS 15(?). You can set them up and they’re people who cannot access your account but can help you regain access if necessary (such as your one device case).

I think you still need to know your password, but that’s pretty reasonable.

They also added a similar feature to allow you to get into a loved one’s account/phone after their death if they set it up.

That doesn't solve it for me. None of my trusted contacts has an up-to-date Apple device.
