Opus 1.2 Released

Listening through all of them, 32 and 48 do have noticeable artifacting if you are using a good sound setup. On my phone though, even 48 was "as good as it gets" for its speaker.

It is still pretty crazy that I find a sub 100 kbps sound sample to be indistinguishable from lossless. Definitely considering transcoding my flac library to 96 vbr opus for backup purposes.

I'm not sure what you mean. FLAC should be the backup.

I have a local backup of native files, but I also have some external 1TB drives I usually get access to once a year and store at relatives places in case my house burns down. They aren't big enough to store my entire media library so I usually end up downsampling to "good enough" copies in case of a disaster.
