For the few keys I need to remember (external drive bitlocker key, windows password, etc) I do reuse a few passwords but I used passwords that have never been used on the internet, so I should be preventing the password reuse risk from breaches. Is there something I’m missing in this strategy?

Depends of what problem you are trying to prevent.

If you are trying to prevent most attacks from the internet, this is perfectly fine.

If you are trying to prevent a close person to gain access to your whole system, this could be improved.

Yeah my concern is theft or hacking more so than evil maid. I’ll keep it in mind if that changes.
