After reviewing all my options I think I’m personally going to set up Amazon SES as SMTP sender for my personal email when I move off gmail. Use hetzner dedicated server for receiving email, along with a raspberry pi/home lab server in my house over fiber (failover between them).
Deliverability concerns have me scared to use anything that’s not a proven strong success for outgoing mail and SES seems very affordable for sent emails, especially if it’s not receiving them.
