To hold your savings in Bitcoin over a 5 year period seems like a safe thing to do, if you take into account the limited supply and increasing exponential scarcity over a 4 year period. What are your thoughts?

Because what if your house needs a new roof or your kid has medical emergency and you bought at 58k and now bitcoin is at 16k ?

I would say that if that money was in the bank, there's a probability you couldn't use it because it could be marked as a suspicious transaction and it would be frozen.
With every new halving passed I think a new bottom is set, because the bottom prices keep getting higher, but with a higher price for Bitcoin you could also see higher volatility.
In your example you were talking about emergencies. Probably for that it's good to have some money in the bank along with gold e.g.
The rest in bitcoin savings is for the long term that you use when you choose, not because of an emergency.

Might just be based on the definition of "savings".
My "savings" is for regular use.
My "investments" are for the future/retirement.

Yes true.
My definition of savings is without or with less risk to defer spending and use it in the future. Investments I see as something with risk to gain return of investment which you can use on a regular basis.
