Even using something similar to encryption which is word extension can make the backup very secure and no need to depend on encryption. Also as the wallet is on airgapped computer, alternative backup like encrypting the seed phrase or the wallet file on a new and yet formated USB stick is also an option. There are 100% ways to security and safety if you wish for one as long as it is bitcoin.

For me personally, air gapped devices its the best, followed by encryption of seed phrases and private keys. But you need to do the encryption yourself, do not use a random software to encrypt because that involves a third party. You do it yourself and keep the encryption key safe somewhere offline and possibly have it off heart so that even when the encryption is compromised, it cannot be decrypted unless the person has the key too. You can decrypt it yourself in seconds by running your little server with the aid of the the secret key you used for the encryption.

I'm not a fan of word extension, sometimes its easy to guess, and when you make it very difficult, you put yourself at great risk of forgetting the format one day and losing your coins too. When choosing safety measures, make sure you don't end up shooting yourself in the foot.
