The problem with not involving any electronics is that somebody needs to
generate a recoverable private key that we have to trust haven't recovered
the private key.

The only plausible solution is multisignature P2SH addresses where you
trust several independent entities to not collude instead, where you
combine their paper notes into one piece. And then you still don't know if
all the private keys are recoverable to you (failed print?).
