This wouldn't help you recover the OS if one partition is broken since the package manager installs/deinstalls files not only on /usr, but also /, /etc, /boot, /var. Splitting is even discouraged if you use a filesystem with snapshots like btrfs (whih isn't my case). The only thing which may (and should) be on a different disk (not partition) is the precious user data, ie /home.

I simply save snapshots not only locally, but an external snapshots locally on a separate drive and to a NAS.

If my IQ were higher than the number of terabytes I have on the NAS, I would have the NAS in a separate location.
