Although not as safe as a printout, I keep codes encrypted on a couple of flash drives, one stays in a drawer and one that's always on my person with my keys, yubikey etc. Haven't needed the codes thus far but feels like a decent compromise.

That's a fair point, maybe I should have some SSD backups in addition to cloud backups.
