This will be a really extreme procedure (and we actually have some proposal to automate the process using WoT and auto-follow by compatible clients).

Actually it will be really hard to mess up your nsec when FROST bunkers will be fully supported by the ecosystem.

I would love to learn more about FROST bunkers

From the presentation of Nstart:

"This is really cool stuff made by fiatjaf, that uses FROST to split your nsec in 3 (or more) and distribute each shard to an independent trusted remote signer. This will give you a bunker code that you can use to log in to many web, mobile and desktop apps without exposing your nsec. If you ever lose your bunker code, if the signers vanish from Earth, and it stops working, or if it gets stolen by a malware virus, you can use your nsec to create a new one and invalidate the old one."

Doesn’t ledger do this but with your bitcoin private key?

I think Ledger does something similar.

The relevat difference here (actually, in a while, this part has not yet been released) is that you can freely choose the signers, and also the N-of-M scheme.
