You nailed that on the head.
Cloud is really just a network storage solution with the feature to sync between it and local storage turned on. Effectively it is just an offsite NAS or SAN. It's just that the NAS/SAN that is used is owned by someone else.
DAS, Tape, or hell even a local NAS is a much better backup solution. Even a second computer works.
I actually have my libraries copies over to my laptop with Calibre and the same plugins installed so I can read on that if I am away from my desktop.
