You can probably get away with google drive+rclone+borg/restic/whatever, but it will be rather clunky. Backblaze might be a nicer backend to use.
I use rsync.net with borg, but not sure about your budget. Their 1TB lifetime plan is very competitive though.
I know rsync.net has been around for a long time but I'm always very skeptical of lifetime plans, you'd have to use it ~10 years for it to be worth it. (Comparing with Hetzner's 1TB storage box)
Or to put it another way, why is state of the art important?
I didn’t use rclone. I just used native AWS cli commands. But I’m an AWS guy and already had my own seldom used AWS account.
Restore takes from 12 (more expensive) to 48 hours (cheaper)

How quickly do you need to be able to restore? Is it commercial or homelab?
The most cost-effective option by far would be to put a NAS device someplace offsite. You could use tailscale to connect to it remotely.
After that, depending on your access patterns, either a glacier-style s3 service (aws or backblaze/etc), or a rented bare-metal server with big disks some place inexpensive.
