To replace everything. Mail, calendar, drive, vpn, password manager, documents etc. What are the pros and cons relative to proton? What are the mobile apps like? What assurances do you have they won't go full proton in the future? And other questions

It does not offer all the options from proton but I bought my own domain from OVH provider (France). Can configure email addresses in their admin user interface. I have one main account that I do not disclose. So when I need to create an account somewhere, I just go to OVH web interface and create a new alias for my main email.

The day OVH goes dark, I’ll just have to move my domain somewhere else.

Check out Addy.io. This would make your email alias creation much easier and manageable from your phone. They even have an api and direct integration into various password managers.

I did not know about Addy.io. I’ll definitely have a look. Thank you!
