(you should keep your private keys in at least two mediums of storage for this reason).

I don't think that's strictly necessary. Two separate geographical locations, sure, but two mediums of storage? If I have inscribed my seed phrase on to two separate titanium plates and have one stored in a safe in my house and one stored in safe deposit box in another city, I don't see how changing one of those titanium plates to digital storage makes me any safer. If anything, I'm just exposing myself to a bunch of new processes and the risks that come with them I otherwise wouldn't be to get my seed phrase on to a USB drive.

Accidentally exposing private keys to an internet-connected device does increase risk, but does not guarantee loss of funds, and if this happens, it is a sign of carelessness. On the topic of carelessness, if you accidentally show someone your paper wallet, the risk of loss of funds is much higher because they could take a picture of the paper in seconds without having prior intent to steal your funds. Exposing private keys to an internet-connected device requires the device to be previously compromised to result in a loss of funds.

If a device is already compromised, then simply plugging in the USB drive is enough for your keys to be stolen. I would argue that is more likely than taking out your paper wallet and standing their idly for 5-10 seconds while you watch someone right beside you reach in to their pocket, take out and unlock their phone, open the camera app, and snap a photo.

There is also the issue of transferring your paper wallet private keys back onto a computer when you are ready to spend your bitcoin. This will require one to potentially allow a camera to take a picture of the private key -- precautions can be taken to reduce this risk, but the risk is still there.

Just don't use cameras and you eliminate this altogether. I only use entire seed phrases rather than individual private keys for my paper wallets, so I never need to use a camera to import them back on to an electronic device.

At the end of the day there are risks inherent to both, but I just don't agree with your initial statement that long term paper storage is inherently more risk than long term digital storage.
