I've gone through about 4/5ths of the physical photos and albums, and have scanned them all. I have a very large external drive that they are stored on, as well as some special trips saved on various sd cards for both storage and to be displayed in a digital frame.

Data is cheap/free, and getting cheaper everyday.
Network bandwidth, same.
CPU capacity, same.
Search & image recognition algorithms - same.
I'm saving everything, life is too short to spend finite seconds of my life worrying. If my descendants or any other researchers care, things will only become easier for them as time passes, and good luck to them.
*IF* you value a few important images as important images to preserve, you (the generic you) HAVE to curate them by removing them as wheat from the chaff.
Bae and Ldahl have children. Surely you guys value a few key image from your child’s development, images that tell their story, images that will have value beyond your own generation. Yours is a self centered point of view I think. You parents are the custodians of children’s images as children. Share them.
For me, I don’t have children. And I already gathered up family photos of the ancient ones, copied them, and distributed them to various relatives. The archiving work is done here.
My own iCloud stash of thousands of photographs have no value to anyone but me. Therefore, when I expire, I don’t expect anyone to sift through them searching for the gold. There is no gold to be found, the photographs are only kept by me because I like them.

I have saved all the photo albums for my kids. Now I just take pictures with my phone and when my phone died I lost them all.
