Ooh these are some great points, thank you so much! With all of this considered it really seems like the breathable bags are the best option, perhaps with silica packets as an additional precaution.
For the sake of discussion:
The heat difference wouldn't be a problem if the atmosphere is completely dehydrated, but that would mean you'd have to dehydrate the dehumidification packets each time before you seal it, which is just another task.
I suppose the way to make such a situation work, then, would be to use a salt-based dehumidifier (the type that fill up with water over time) with silica perhaps mixed in to prevent the water from re-circulating (the salt dessicant removes the water from the atmosphere, the silica holds on to it).
Low oxygen definitely leads to nastier and smellier mould growth, that's for sure. But without moisture no mould is going to grow regardless of oxygen.
