So what does that leave us with to filter water absolutely safely? Distillation? Are there any commercial or consumer systems that can do that in an easy and convenient package?

The only alternative to RO/Distillation in purity I can think of is collecting rainwater. Im still going to use RO. For the volumes of water I use and without a rainwater collection system that doesn't use plastic pipes it's the best I can do.

While it may introduce nanoplastic it also removes it from the source water so depending on the numbers it may still be better

No idea. Wouldn't be surprised if even distillation doesn't do the trick...i.e. carries the particles with it

I think best plan is just to minimize plastic use as much as possible.
