I’m going to have to read this, because my knee jerk reaction answer is that it depends on what type of wash you want to give the car. If you want to give the car an actual wash at the car wash, you’re going to have to drive it. But if you’re wanting to wash it at home, then it doesn’t matter how far the car wash is away. Because you can just walk out your front door and grab your water hose. and soap and shit.

I’m sorry, but I really don’t see what you’re trying to convey. The people I give my passwords to also don’t use cloud password managers.

PThe master copy stays on my device. If I need to give somebody access to a specific password, I just give them that password locally and they put it in their password manager for that account.

Same thing occurs if they need to give me a password. They give me the password. I put it in my password manager and then I’m the one who updates the flash drives on the rotating basis like I mentioned above.

I store my keypass database on several flash drives in different physical locations and update them several times per year to make sure that even if I do lose the copy I have, the versions on the flash drives, not at my physical location, are decently up to date, and so if I do lose any of the password data, it will be only for a couple of months worth if that.

If I add things that are extremely important, such as a new mortgage provider, or some sort of financial data into my keypass database, then I do an unscheduled immediate update to all of my flash drives in different physical locations to make sure that they all have that, but if it’s just a social media account, and I was to lose access to it, and not have the password for it, then… I wouldn’t be too upset about it.

In the absolute worst possible case, I stand to lose 3 months worth of data. It’s not often that I have to tweak stuff in my password manager, so that would be very few changes.
