I don't believe this is true. IPFS doesn't have any built in way of easily distributing parts of an archive, doesn't support (as far as I know) any form of erasure coding, making overhead quite high and requires that you use its own weird block + hash scheme for integrity.
It's also very immature, we don't know if IPFS will be around in 10 years and we don't know what kinds of bugs it will have.
IPFS is a great tool and it has its uses but I don't think archiving is one of them yet.
