Seedsticks just another trap by VCs like Tim Draper to keep you chained to centralized control
That is a really cool idea...but for a $177 USD....pretty sure I could print out all the words, laminate the pages, cut them up, and do pretty much same thing.
I generally trust '/dev/random' on modern, maintained Linux running on a 64-bit PC. no VMs. fully wiped, air gapped PC...

the choice is personal coin flips, dice, etc. are laborious setups. there are good, more practical, and confidently secure ways of automating random entropy generation using a modern computer including most mobile phone devices the problem is those devices are designed to be hot connected to networks. hence introducing many attack vectors one of my favorite multisig setups are start with old 64-bit PCs well wiped (storage, BIOS, CMOS) and never network connected. load a modern, maintained 64-bit Linux to generate keys and seeds generate keys and seeds with Linux and a trusted software wallet like Sparrow, Bitcoin Core, etc (verifying each software install package!) hand write it all and transfer one key to a hardware wallet like Trezor and others. Once hardware wallet recpvery is tested, secure or destroy paper, and wipe PC device fully (shred Linux block devices, reset PC CMOS) repeat with diverse PCs, Linux kernels and OSes, wallet softwares, hardware wallets

Just roll the dice, look up the values in a chart, and just KNOW. Why cut corners? Unless you're just experimenting, go the distance. It's your future that you're taking shortcuts against.
Its complex and beyond my ability to explain that part to you. Google it up or use your favored LLM to ELI5 and expand your knowledge on this. It’s important to understand the basics. 🧡👊🏻🍻
