m-discs and blurays supposedly will last many centuries with data intact in a dry cave, but can't store very much per disc.

Yeah, storage capacity is a big part of the issue. We can carve data into stone, but not a lot.

There was an announcement some months back that a very durable, very high capacity data crystal had been made in a lab, but I can't comment on the prospects for such tech becoming widely accessible.
