When I sometimes buy BDs (mostly foreign titles from my native country, not available for streaming from usual sources), I'll rip them raw with MakeMKV[0] decrypting the video TS files in the process. Then I use MKVtoolnix[1] to wrap original video/audio/subtitles to MKV. Generated .mkv goes to a local NAS from where I can play them with Xbox using Kodi or VLC (storage requirement is ~10GB and up / movie - you're essentially grabbing the movie as is from the BD). This has the benefit that they are now available without having to find the disc, and also this process gets rid of annoying menus and extras and just gets you to the movie. This will also prevent kids from using your BD discs as frisbees.. ;-) Only downsides I can think of are that last time I checked, VLC/Kodi didn't support Dolby Atmos soundtracks on Xbox and some amount of time that goes into extracting them. I haven't tried archiving any UHD titles yet, so don't know if this would work for them. I'll hazard it would. Only take more storage.
