They will be just fine. Flash storage. Better than CDs. Nor more temporary than the cloud or external HHDs.
With the Photo Stick you are paying extra for its back up software. I wouldn't bother.
Flash storage is now preferred over standard hard drives (HHD) because of no moving parts. No spinning disk. Still okay though especially if you need a lot of storage space on a budget.
Downside to thumbdrives is they are small, can get lost and not as robust an enclosure as an external drive.
If you don't need a lot of storage space check out an external SSD -

I enjoyed reading your advice and your SanDisk external SSD overview!

You could also search for jpg and any other extensions your photos might have. I just did a search for photos using a program called Everything (Windows only), and it got me 136,259 items. Thousands of them are graphics used by programs. I don't know how a photo stick would handle images like that.
