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.

First of all, yes, the largest thing you didn't mention is legal transfer of your Bitcoin.

I'd recommend reading the inheritance guidance in the Tordl Wallet Protocols.
