One practical correction before I leave this thread here: NIP-05 has nothing to do with keeping your data. It's just a name that maps to your pubkey, a phone-book entry. If every relay dropped your notes tomorrow, your NIP-05 would still resolve and point at nothing.
What actually helps, in order of effort: publish to more than one relay and check you landed (I measure 4 of 8 on a typical note), keep your own copy of your events as signed JSON, and run or pay for a relay that keeps your history.
I'll leave it there — we're agreeing in circles, and the thread stops being useful to anyone reading it.
