Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don't mind if it's a paid service if it's robust.

I just forward my Gmail and use it as a legacy service while using proton as my new primary. Allows me to very aggressively spam filter in proton.

That’s what I do too, and any thing that I sign up for or use often I’ve swapped straight to proton

I'm willing to use that mindset when I'm downhill mountain biking but for email.. no way. You're crazy man.

I kinda get you, but I'm (not oc) using forwarding as a temporary solution until I've slowly moved everything away from Gmail entirely. It's also good to import all past mails over.
