The only reasonable solution is to keep migrating and checking the data on various media; but this is expensive and often deemed not worth it.

Depends on the size of the data.
If your dataset is below 1-2Tb it would cost you less than $200 in a decade to move to a newer HDD every 5 years.
That used to be my method but I decided to "upgrade" to paying backblaze to manage that method for me and just in the nick of time too as my SSD crib-deathed soon after.
