In my opinion if you are creating a long-term project, the best way is to combine paid and organic traffic, but note that for this purpose it is better to use high quality and trusted backlinks.
I also agree that backlinks can't be ignored and they most probably will always work, The only thing that may change is the evaluation of their relevance by SE.
