Online backup stuck inside Google's walls is the opposite of spreading my risk.
An offline backup I can control, I can put in a safe for my relatives in case I die unexpectedly. Or I am robbed. Or any number of foreseeable circumstances where the physical manifestation of my secret is lost.

So it would be perfectly possible to have your logins in a safe somewhere while having additional passkeys for daily use. You just need create the backup manually for each account provider. You can't extract all your passkeys from a device. But for me, the online-backup provides enough redundancy. In order to be locked out, I'd have to loose all my devices and, at the same time, be banned by my cloud provider. [1] at least that's what the Safari-UI suggests.
