No. Not really

For long term storage LTO is the answer.

If cost/ lifetime storage are the only factors

I prefer drives; it is a cost I’m willing to pay as speed is more important, at home —At work we have both because 3-2-1

However I have been looking at tape for home use for some long term storage

Seconding this. I work with a lot of geophysical data, and there’s a reason why our library is stored on LTO.

Once you have the infrastructure and supply chain for it, there’s simply no cheaper way of long term storage per TB. The drives can be pricey, depending on which you use, but the standard IBM tapes are pretty cheap.
