That doesn't seem any stronger than "rarely" to me, maybe less strong. For sure, neither one reaches the strength of "almost never".

Maybe two words?
This extreme tack is hardly ever taken.

Is 'seldom' stronger than 'rarely'? I'd have thought 'twere the other way around.

No great joke, just my obscure way of saying that deciding which is the stronger is a matter of individual perception.
