What's a good alternative to Proton? (piefed.social)

Proton is seeming sketchier lately. What alternatives do y'all have in your back pocket? Especially for email, but really any part of the suite.

I selfhost Stalwart for incoming mail with the free SMTP2GO tier for outgoing mail. This is for my personal email that I currently don't use for anything. I use gmail for signing up for stuff because I've been using it for a very long time and haven't picked an alternative setup yet for handling signing up to stuff with a different email. I also use Zoho mail for more important things like banking. Zoho makes its money from enterprise subscriptions and I frankly trust it more than Proton to not enshittify short or long term.
