You don't need to worry about ransomware destroying the data on your writable DVDs, the discs themselves can do that fine.

Yeah disc rot is a real problem. CD/DVD-R are great when it comes to physically store drives (they don't take much space on a shelf and are easely sent via mail) but I'd rather use a hard drive and the cloud for my backups now.
