I agree that TC is funky with attached drives.
Also, I don't care (much) about old versions of my personal data. If I did, this would be an unacceptable backup solution because fire/theft of my TC could wipe it out, as you mention. But between my TimeCapsule and my Google Drive, it strikes me as unlikely that my laptop, my TC, and my Google Drive will fail me all at the same moment. If so, I would be SOL.
