​I'd suggest you consider that such binary data be defined as immutable.
Then the only problem you have to worry about is existence - versioning
consistency goes away. You only need focus on the versioning of
associations - which remains in the database and is very lightweight. It
is then a separate matter to ensure that all documents you require are
accessible given the identifying information stored in the database and
linked to the primary records via those versioned associations.
