If You Lost Your Seed Phrases
I really recommend you read a well designed guide for storing bitcoin like The Tordl Wallet Protocols. It gives very helpful guideance on how and why store your bitcoin in certain ways.

🤔 By the way, this is a serious problem “If I died today, I don’t think my wife would know how to access our bitcoins.... Would yours?”
I highly recommend you follow a guide like The Tordl Wallet Protocols which are holistic guides to storing your bitcoin. They include guidance on inheritance that will make it so your wife can access your bitcoin - in the worst case scenario with help she is informed to be careful about.

Ditching ledger for coldcard this week
Coldcard works great. Tho I'm pretty disappointed coldcard renegged on having its firmware open source. I might recommend that if you have multiple types of hardware wallets, you might want to consider a multisig wallet that incorporates your ledger and your coldcard. The Tordl Wallet Protocols have holistic guides on how to do that. A ledger+coldcard multisig wallet is far far more secure than a single-sig wallet of any kind.

Coldcard set up complete.
While you're thinking about ways to level up, you might be interested in reading through some of The Tordl Wallet Protocols, a holistic set of guides for how to securely store your bitcoin. Its got info in there about multisig bitcoin storage, inheritance, and other nice info. Coldcard is nice, but if you really want to elminate all single points of failure, you need to go multisig. If you have more than $5000 in bitcoin, I'd recommend thinking about it.

Mobile wallet to hardware wallet.
Muun doesn't seem to have very clear documentation, but it definitely supports Trezor at least. I'd definitely recommend you upgrade your security using a hardware wallet. The Tordl Wallet Protocols are a good resource for that.

My plan to pass on my btc. Am I missing something?
First of all, yes, the largest thing you didn't mention is legal transfer of your Bitcoin. I'm many jurisdictions, a holographic will is probably your easiest solution to this (tho not all jurisdictions recognize them, so check). I'd recommend reading the inheritance guidance in the Tordl Wallet Protocols.

Friendly reminder to add in your testament where your private keys are!
Definitely record where you've put any wallet information where your heirs can access it. Definitely use a metal plate for your seed. Its pretty cheap generally too (eg the blockplate or steelwallet)

You could also go full self-custody by following a guide like The Tordl Wallet Protocols.

Wallets
I like electrum on desktop (lots of nice featuers and battletested) and Phoenix as a mobile lightning wallet. If you're trying to figure out a good way to self-custody I'd recommend checking out The Tordl Wallet Protocols - holistic guides to how to self-custody your bitcoin.

Secure Boot on ESP32 Platforms
Secure boot is a restriction put on a device, indeed. Whether secure boot should be enabled on a device or not depends on the perspective, and also on the threat model. For example, for an ESP32-based crypto wallet product like Jade (https://github.com/Blockstream/Jade) that's to be used to store Bitcoin, it's very likely a very good idea to enable secure boot, no matter it's an official or DIY device.

Don`t trust, verify the seed generation of the jade HW
Having purchased the Jade HW, I want to be sure that the seed phrase it generates is safe. So I went to the repository https://github.com/Blockstream/Jade and tried to find the piece of code used to generate it. I could not find it.

Is it save to place order with my personal credit card?
Next, and this applies no matter what solution you're using, verify the firmware: https://github.com/Blockstream/Jade/blob/master/REPRODUCIBLE.md
- Is it possible for ESP32 to connect with Ledger hard wallet?
- What are the safest go-to cold wallets out there, right now?

Passphrase
For me Blockstream Jade has a DIY guide and the TTGO Lilygo T-Display is open source despite being made in china. blockstream jade are not trying to peddle an over priced piece of hardware, the DYI shows that they are not trying to profit from you with hardware.

Not your keys not your coins
I'm a major believer in securing coins with a hardware wallet, but I feel foolish for trusting one that is closed source. Luckily, I didn't lose anything, but I'm moving my coins to an open source wallet. I'm leaning toward the Blockstream Jade because it's open source with published verifiable code (here), it can be run airgapped, and it has the option to run "stateless" which means the device doesn't even save your seed.
