from various information sources, by summary concludes the current seed phrase storage as best:
2 of 3 multisig.
-snip-
These 24 words are then engraved onto 3 stainless steel hexkeys, so when 2 of these hex keys are brought together, the 24 words are revealed.
Then the user needs to enter the passphrase to fully recover the wallet.
I have a feeling that you're mixing things up since MultiSig isn't a "seed phrase storage" scheme but a bitcoin locking script that can only be spent by providing the required number of signatures.
"MultiSig" standands for "Multiple Signatures".

By the given example, it looks like you're talking about "SLIP39" (github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0039.md).
Browser example (for testing, don't use in real wallets): iancoleman.io/shamir39/

My understanding is a seed phrase will have 24 words.
For 2-of-3 MultiSig Setup, you'll be backing-up three separate seed phrases.
That "2-of-3" signifies: the 'number of required signatures to sign transactions' - of - 'total number of cosigners'.
Since it's "of-3", you'll be creating three cosigners wallets which contain their own seed phrase.

12 words per cosigner is safe, but if you can backup 24 words in a single steel hexkeys and the wallet can generate 24 words, then go for it.

Read the links in the reply above for more information about MultiSig wallet setup.
