I wonder how feasible, realistic, &c it would be to have included in the deletion/destruction policy to have a step/section in there to say "after verification of deletion, make a new backup to replace the old backup" which would be a backup refresh "outside" of the usual periodic backup.

That would work if you kept only backup version. That would be bad-what do you do in case of accidental record deletion or encryption malware detected after a backup? Check out e.g. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/
