I will defer to your judgment on this as I am not passionate either way and I trust your expertise.

we have normalized this for git - a tool to store versions of text. That’s the problem
tldr: even if you never plan to use anything advanced, you’ll end up in some weird situation where you need to do something even if you’re in the “95% of the users”
no shade, yes ofc you “could this, could that” to make things work and we have been stuck with this for so long that an alternative doesn’t even seem plausible
* after STT, there is objectively less info in the storage format
* OP cannot take advantage of rapidly advancing OCR tech on the storage
* inevitably OP might end up saving the originals “just in case”- rendering this entire process useless
