I have a similar story, except that I didn't go back to my old gmail account after ditching Proton. Instead I bought myself a domain and went for a web hosting service.

I recommend getting your own domain as it means you can change email providers without and big issue down the road. I picked a stupid host at first, and changed to Hetzner later. No inconvenience at all, and even keeping my inbox was easy.
