I wonder what the preferred way to generate the passphrase is? The issue with something like a Coldcard or Bitbox was that it takes ages to enter a long passphrase.

I wonder if a different approach could be employed between the entrop for the base seed and the passphrase? E.g. Use Dice and the Iancoleman BIP39 tool to generate the base seed, and then something else to generate a 12 word BIP39-compatible passphrase on top of that "just in case"?

Even if your base seed is totally compromised, you still have your funds.

Having it on a computer means it would be way easier to type it out...

You can use dice and use the list(s) provided at Diceware for a passphrase if you want to use a different list than the BIP39 one.

Yeah, one thing I've learned over the last few days is that for a passphrase to save you, it needs to be much longer than what can be comfortably (and reliably, repeatedly) be typed into any of these signing devices. But with a laptop keyboard at our disposal, or KeepassXC installed, it would be trivial to generate a passphrase with the appropriate entropy, and for it to be easily tested.
