I burn Blu-rays once in a while. They work for backup.

They don't last very long. About 5-10 years at most, and that's if you bought special archival burnable DVDs. If you depend on them for backups, you should check the integrity annually (always include a checksum like SHA256 with any backup archive).

I have CDs that I burned in the 90s that still work fine. I’m assuming the blu-rays I burn now will probably last as long, which is decades longer than I need them to.

I heard that the higher the data density on DVD and BR means the higher the failure rate. Though i have no real evidence of that myself.

Maybe one or two bits corrupted here or there will only cause some unnoticeable artefacts anyway.
