Andy,

    No it not too late for Jan-Jan justs get bigger hard drive to transfer stuff to.. 8T HHD for Jan or better yet  1T SSD which are "suppose" to last forever. In your case it is too late. ( I wonder if Jan could get insurance on his pictures so if they disappeared he woould get cash for them)

     The quality of a 4x5" can never be achieved with a 35mm except in rare cases. I have some cute B&W shot on 2.25" film that just has better tonality than if I had shot them on a 35mm. I wish I had not gone to 35mm for it better convenience.

File size creep … I have the same “problem”.  It is sort of like shooting 35mm film and later realizing you should have used 4x5. Either case … too late!
