Cold storage recommendation
Seedsigner is not the only option in this regards. Look into Krux. It does many things exactly like Seedsigner. And some more still better.

Question about generating valid mnemonic seed phrases on air-gapped devices
Seedsigner and Krux can do that. They're stateless and air-gapped. With krux you can store your seed heavily encrypted on a microSD, if you like.

Came to crypto because of altcoins, here to stay because of Bitcoin.
Coldcard is a solid, bitcoin only commercial option. If you don't mind a little DIY then Krux or seedsigner might be a good choice too. You can also make your own with an old laptop. Remove the WiFi functionality (rip out the board or antenna) and upload Linux. Install a wallet on there like electrum or sparrow (transfer it over via usb) and you have an airgapped wallet.
