I feel more secure with my digital back ups because I have them encrypted.
That's fine for you, if you think that is your best method of securely backing things up and doing so fits your threat model. However, I personally still wouldn't recommend it. As we've discussed in this thread, there is no one right answer here.
Although you definitely cannot call such a set up a paper wallet anymore. That is a digital wallet with paper back ups.
I don't understand. Could you explain why the existence of encrypted digital keys should make you feel more secure and comfortable especially considering the fact that they are practically useless without the secret key that is required to decrypt them?
If I have my encrypted seed phrase stored digitally, and the decryption key written on paper, then someone needs to compromise two things to access my coins, as opposed to just one thing if my seed phrase is simply written or printed on paper directly. I would still recommend against storing your seed phrase digitally though, since you are still trusting the hardware you use, the encryption software, that you aren't leaving behind unencrypted traces, that there is no malware spying on the process, etc.
If you want your wallet to require the compromise of two things rather rather just one, then either use an additional complex passphrase, or use a multi-sig set up, with all the relevant data stored on separate pieces of paper in separate locations.
