The main issue I see happening here with a large list of keys is the lack of an automated way of making these backups: this would require a standard way for a backup system to use one set of secrets to authenticate another set of secrets, which AFAIK doesn't exist for webauthn (it must be initiated by the site, all of which will have different methods of doing so). Otherwise you would have to manually enroll multiple devices for each account, which is both painful and error-prone.
