Correct, the only way currently in the OpenPGP ecosystem, is for users
in Germany,
with a German ID-card, containing a chip, and a secure mechanism, to prove that
this public key belongs to this person. And when the key pair is
directly burned on
a YubiKey or Nitrokey the private key can't be stolen, when used on a
compromised
online device. Probably the most secure way, but it still cannot
guaranty that I did the
signature when I supply a warrant canary and I am already dead and someone is
in possession of my (valid) ID-card and YubiKey+ credentials.

Stefan
