Its not irrelevant than people understand the role of RND in their daily lives. In fact, it will only become more necessary as time goes on. And you...

TRNG or CSPRNG are both viable solutions.

My reason for dice is that they're a LOT easier to audit. Especially if you're doing Von Neumann skew correction so it doesn't matter if they're imbalanced anyway.

It's impractical to use dice for most of what we rely on RNG's for. But most of what we use RNG's for is less high stakes, and where it does really matter more with no reversibility it's usually higher stakes on the server side. But taking an hour to roll dice for a key that holds my family's wealth? Yea I'm happy to keep it low tech.
