That sounds like a bit of a ride. I just selfhosted everything. There’s still things tied to my gmail, and probably always will be. However they’re not seeing the important stuff like medical, school, banking and services.
NGL; selfhosting is quite a commitment too. Especially for email. There are a lot of hoops to get trust as a server, and full text search took me years to get working right. Hosting a keepass database on a personal webserver is not as convenient, but there’s 100% control.
I inherently don’t trust any company that sells trust or privacy as a product. I’ll only fully trust open source software running on my own metal.

I am thinking of self-hosting some stuff right now, but that’s mainy OneDrive/Google Drive replacement and Google Photos replacement. I could maybe self-host Bitwarden, too. Email? Nope. I know there’s A LOT of work with that, with the domains (so my emails don’t get rejected by other parties), with spam filters and so on. I will leave that to the professionals, it’s too important. File storage is for me, but email is for communication with others. So congratulations if you got that working :)
