Do you burn them to actual physical spinning optical media?

Nowadays, I usually put them on USB-sticks or SDCards. However I
also have to admit having resorted to using optical media on very
rare exceptional conditions.

Oh, good -- we're not talking about dropping the USB stick case (I
don't think we test SD cards at all)
In most cases, I am using these SD cards with one of these "USB stick-like" adapters. So far, I've never had any boot/install related problems with these. Probably, the BIOS/UEFI sees them as USB sticks?

— basically the question is how
much time we should spend testing (and blocking!) on that rare
exceptional condition.

To me, these rare exceptional conditions come from 2 categories:
- No spare USB stick at hand (e.g when travelling)
- No USB or USB-boot available[1]

[1] One of my machines (A very old one) doesn't support booting from USB. The only physical installation media available on this one is CDROMs.
