Thanks for this, I didn't think about using the Git repo as a SECONDARY backup source.
Also, using Nextcloud sounds like a neat idea.
I'm into Self-Hosting stuff myself nowadays but am starting out small (ex: Just bought an old Dell Optiplex from eBay, put 2 HDDs into it, planning on using it for HDD backups, and as a Git server).
However, this sounds like an awesome workflow, as I did not consider to host Nextcloud. Awesome idea, thank you for this, Juan!

I have all my everyday Org documents in a Nextcloud folder, but only
because I work between the desktop PC and the laptop. I sync using a
script with nextcloud-cmd, not via the Nextcloud app, which I find it
somewhat intrusive. And with another script I do every week a backup of
that folder to a git repo. But this repo is secondary and is only for
keep some backups (I also keep a weekly backup of Elpa folders ---last
versions--- there, in case some update breaks something).
