I love this decentralized archiving idea, but until it exists I can't really put it on the list as a path forward. I would like to work on something cool like that though. You could ensure the data hasn't been tampered with.

Why not?

It's the far end goal. And it's not that far. It's basically IPFS with extras.

Between here and there are the temporary solutions: Archive.org and Archive.is. Either or both.

Keep a record so when the time comes you can go back and scrape again, maybe from the original and the two archives, keeping in mind it may be different - in which case it might be even more interesting what comparatively changes.

Maybe it's vaporware that will never materialize. Maybe something better will come along. Maybe it will kick around in the back of your mind for years. Maybe one day someone will be glad you brought their attention to it and can make it happen.

Just put the SaidIt decentralized archival backbone last on the list.

Easy sell.
