HI David
I should have left the whole discussion of the cloud aspect out of it. What I meant to point out is that the problem, at least if I understand what you are saying, is one of proprietary files more than the subscription format itself. I don't know if there is a stand alone version of illustrator one can buy on disc; there used to be. Would the Illustrator files from the CC subscription be openable in earlier versions of the program? I know I can open .psd Photoshop files created in CS6 on Photoshop 7, for which I have a disc.
