It's really only BD-R that can achieve this. AFAIK, all DVD recordable media contains organics and will degrade rapidly.

Yes, until the M-Disc DVDs came out. But if one is going to go down the route of using optical media for long term archival storage, might has well go with M-Disc BD-R.
I recently decided to go through all my archived DVDs and re-organize all my data in a more centralized way so I can manage backups more effectively; I found a LOT of DVDs failed, more so than even CD-Rs though I found some of those too. DVD-R in particular had a very high rate of data loss, and some of this stuff was only 3-4 years old. DVD+R media quality varies a LOT. When I told my friends this, they also went through their DVD archives of family pictures/movies/files and unfortunately had to face disappointments.
In my research to find an alternative, I also ended up at the conclusion that HTL BD-R and M-Disc BD-R is the way to go. I'm using M-Disc BD-R for the most important things, while using decent quality HTL BD-R for others. I also have an automated system to backup my stuff onto a set of USB 3.0 hard drives. And finally, I am also using a cloud backup solution. I'm hoping that's enough copies of my data to reduce my risks of data loss to a reasonable level.
