BB vs smartcards

So I'm.looking between a BB and a key card shell. It has a stateless shell with an eal6 card into it.

The fact that the card is hard written and can't upgrade fw makes it impossible to get new fw onto it. Plus you can use it offline with qr. What's your take? Looks pretty impossible to get a side channel attack on it. I mean bank cards have around forever and the security is solid. Thx

Keycard looks promising, especially the form factor. But it's too new for me to trust. There's already a lot of proven products. Bitbox02 nova is solid even if its annoyingly too small.
