Once an experienced person gave me some advice: if you want to hide something securely in your house so that it won't be found in case of theft or during a search, you need to hide it in such a way that you yourself can't quickly get to it. That is, for this you would need to disassemble or unscrew something.
Therefore, if I know for sure that my seed is securely hidden in several locations, then it will be unnecessary for me to disassemble or unwind something every time to confirm the presence of the seed before updating the wallet. Therefore, I consider the standard warning that wallets give before updating to be sufficient.
