I feel like the "dice roll only" advice is going to bite some noobs or people who mishandle it. There is nothing wrong with hardware RNG or the RNG sources used by any hardware signer. What happened to ColdCard is a fail-open fallback to software PRNG.
At least ask that people use methods that use dice rolls as a supplementary entropy source, not the sole one - if at all.
