I'm using Proton right now. Someone suggest I should get a Gmail instead for higher chance of success. Is that true? How risky is it for Google sanning those mails in terms of privacy?

Maybe I am an odd duck, but when I have been the guy looking at resumes and shit, I made a note not to read peoples email addresses. I don't care if your email is cumdumpster19 I care if you know how to configure a firewall. But I think most people look for reason to round file a resume and not reasons to say yes to an applicant.

The roles I've hired for require formal presentation of work/studies with a certain level of attention to detail, and more internal politics than I care to admit.

So while its never the sole deciding factor in a resume I do put weight on spelling, formatting, and general professionalism. If your email is firekitten22@aol.com, or jon@sirfapsalot.net I'm not immediately binning it, but you are starting from a disadvantage. stephanie@harmlessdomain.com is always gonna be just fine though.

I'm changing my name to Stephanie right now, and buying harmlessdomain.com if it's available! Then I'll always be fine!

harmlessdomain.com is available - I expect to see it registered by tomorrow or I'm never trusting a stranger on the internet ever again!
