48 vs 96 kHz for audio preservation?

I would still opt for 48kHz/24bit as perfectly sufficient.

In case of noisy/low-fi sources (Shellack, wax-cylinders, etc) one may choose 96kHz to have headroom for restoration.

Other than that, to capture regular-quality audio: Anyone got a good reason to go >48kHz? 🤔
