Okay so the Coldcard Q apparently doesn't read SeedQR Compact format.

Not a problem, all you have to do is

1. Build a SeedSigner

2. Scan Compact QR with SeedSigner

3. Export the seed in non-Compact format

4. Scan SeedSigner with ColdCard Q

or just stop at 1.

Seed QRs seem terrible to me

But I might be overweighted on evil maid risk

So is storing a physical copy of your seed

I guess yeah it would be the same right

But if I had to keep the QR in a “usable” condition to use the funds I feel like that is weaker than the pin on a hw device

Then again the hardware device can fail or the secure element can become obsolete and vulnerable to attacks.

There are risks. I don't put any significant funds behind them. Definitely know the environment you are recovering in.
