I've started putting mine into my Bitwarden vault as well as Google auth, mainly because I'm a bit paranoid I'll wind up locked out of something by trusting a second factor too much

With password recovery you shouldn’t be getting locked out of anything. I don’t see this being a risk.

Password recovery is itself a weakness in the system

And I did call myself paranoid for it...
