The issue here is that this process is wayyyyy too complex for most people to be able to manage. I couldn't imagine trying to communicate this to my brother who is a carpenter and have him successfully able to create this recovery material, let alone using it to retrieve a key. For example, "just export the recovery credentials" really glosses over a lot of complexity. Where will a user export it to? How will they preserve that? On a USB stick, which is a lossy medium? While this whole process is technically very cool, and interesting, I think that it's really overlooking the experience of an everyday user to achieve this reliably. Please when you come up with a process like this, step back and talk it through with non-technical folk and see if they can follow it. because that's your audience here. If I can't communicate this process to my brother, or my neighbours, then it won't work at scale.
