I agree with your solution but please note that if you go down that road, you'll need to renew your domain from now to forever.

A good and super cheap hosting provider for emails is PurelyMail, albeit it's based in the US
+1 for Proton as a security theatre.
Proton is not safe, the Swiss government can (and did, in fact) ask Proton for users' IP addresses and metadata.
Plus, Proton forces you to use their client instead of standard IMAP.
You're lucky if you don't depend on apps such as banking apps or Ryanair digital boarding passes
Damn, they could have chosen another name for their platform...
They connect to the Have I Been Pwned database in a secure way.
They make a hash of your password and send just the first characters.
Honest question, why would you need a VPN if you want to download from private trackers?
Usually, copyright owners target people on public trackers and on the DHT. Not a problem if you only get into private trackers.
Why would you need a VPN? Is it for pirating content?
I used to love GNOME 2, but now it's unbearable. It looks and it behaves as if it's a toy for kids.
Also, why do apps have buttons in their title bar? It makes no sense.
I'm sad that a good open source project such as GNOME has become so bad.
I'd like to add that accessing your things from outside the home is relatively simple if you have a static IP and you setup a VPN to your home with Wireguard.
Some advanced routers even have native support for Wireguard, like the Freebox in France or the Iliadbox in Italy.
Problem is, 99% of people don't even know what open standards are.
Proton stores senders and subjects in clear text. Only the content of the email is encrypted.
That means that the Swiss government can easily force them to handle out that data.
