Using your own domain for email? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm pretty far into the degoogling process, and I'm thinking about purchasing a domain and using it for email. I realized I don't want to be stuck with any one email service, so this is pretty much a necessity for me.

I wouldn't self host though, because I understand that's very hard to do.

For people who have already done this: are there any pitfalls or things I should take into consideration before I purchase a domain?

Also, does the tld matter? Are my emails more likely to be sent to spam with a custom domain vs an email provider's?

I see some providers support DANE. Is that different than either DMARC or DKIM? I looked it up, but the description was very technical and didn't clear up the differences for me.

DANE helps protect the contents of an email.

DMARC and DKIM help prevent domain origin spoofing (which is what spammers love to do).

So no, DANE does not, to my knowledge, provide any protection against being treated like a spam domain.
