Watch out for overkill.
I'm pretty sure more #Bitcoin have been lost by people losing access than by theft/ to little safety.
People memorizing their seed, passphrases forgotten, using expert functions without knowing what they do (using the coldcard rolling dice seed creation with only one dice roll).
I always advice to get the basics RIGHT.
Use a mainstream HW wallet, let it create a seed, test the backup of your seed, keep your seed backup from all devices thus offline, don't talk about your #Bitcoin.
In 99.9% this will be sufficient.
Even these basics can need some more explanation, like what is a good back up (like fireproof, etc.).
Multisig can be useful, when done right, but mostly only needed for some specific situations, basic reasoning: only use it when the need is there (like in a company).
