How about using macOS's Keychain to store keys?

On recent versions, need this in your ~/.ssh/config:

    # for Keychain (acting as agent) to load the ssh keyfile
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    # For ssh to then use Keychain as an agent
    UseKeychain yes


You can use the keychain to store keys, but if the key is ever saved in the old (broken) format, you've got a problem.


Mac keychain shits the bed on my randomly... never know why, but it happens and i hear people at work grumbling about it too so i don't put much faith into it.
