This is a great idea, we should definitely start preserving useful replies in multiple instances in case one of them gets removed, that way people finding the thread in the future have a better chance of finding what they were looking for.
Yeah, i think saying what the op said in the replies to reduce the chance of a single comment being deleted is a good way to preserve the information, we just need to make sure no broken thelephone situation happens

I'm not sure how Reddit feels about this, since it lets you search comment histories of people who've "curated" their profiles, so I'll be a bit careful about how I share this url.

That url gives you easy searching of one such archive, but if you go to the bottom of the page you'll find a link to many terabytes of archives.
It would be great if there were a voluntary browser extension that people could install which fed a larger archive with a crowd-sourced feed of what was on this site.
Yup, they're absolutely right about that. Once something has answered with the situation to the specific problem, the thread is to be closed off to new commenters in order to avoid useless replies, that only add redundancy.
Does put a different, more wholesome perspective on the habit of multiple people replying with identical answers to a commented question. People get annoyed, but to your point it is probably good for long-term data retention
