I don't believe anything I've written here could reasonably be read to
imply that I think the system I use is "somehow a virtue".  It works for
me.  I'm more than willing to consider better ideas.

I've had occasional problems with the setup I use.  Those problems have
not included a loss of information and are not likely to.

Yes, I mentioned KeePass.  Am I not allowed to mention something that
wasn't mentioned before?

Opinion noted.

"Cloud storage" is not a single thing that is "secure and tested".  It's
likely that some of the cloud storage solutions are sufficiently secure,
but I haven't been using cloud storage and am hesitant to start, since,
as I've said several times, my current system works for me.

I have not found that to be the case.

Perhaps you could offer advice rather than just shooting down ideas you
don't like.
