This depends on your company size and security requirements. I'd say use common sense for small companies, where the idea is mostly not to lose access to all of your decryption keys at once. As the company grows and you need to worry about trusting people, you are solving two problems: having an always-available fallback decryption key (that's the easy part, and indeed deposit boxes work just fine, but so does your parent's home in many cases :)), and restricting access to keys to those people who need it. The second problem is more difficult to solve.
My main point was that the use of hardware keys makes many things much easier, and you do not have to worry about your keys being copied and used without your knowledge. That's a big thing. Also, the often-ridiculed GnuPG is amazingly useful with Yubikeys (using the setup I linked to), because you can use the same keys for SSH, thus ensuring access to all resources as needed.
