> the higher propensity over a long long time for the content to outlast digital copies
I'm not sure why you think so.
It's true that we have paper works that have survived for centuries, but this results in a strong survivor bias. As a proportion of all paper-based works that have existed, those that survive longer than 50 years are a vanishingly small proportion.
Digital archiving is a new field and most of the major failures so far are already addressed by Wikipedia.
