I see a good excuse right there: the few thousand bucks.

I'd rather one the most reliable and cheap hardware security model we know of: paper.

Print a bunch of QR/datamatrix codes with your key. Keep one in a fireproof safe in your house, and another one elsewhere.

Total cost: ~$0.1 (+ the multipurpose safe, if needed)

Printers often have hard drives with cached pages
That's why you buy a printer, then destroy it with a baseball bat after you print.

It is a bit expensive when it gets to 5-10 printers but still cheaper than the thousands.

Put the printer in the safe with the paper?
