Is it safe to use iCloud mail as login for AppleID? I created my apple account originally with gmail, but I’m slowly transitioning out of the google mail and am considering changing my Apple ID as well. But given that the mail is part of the account, is it safe to use it? Are there any guides how to best secure account while using icloud mail? Having a different mail as backup for recover? Something more?

I think that’s only true if you are creating a new iCloud email address, I helped someone at work who was using their work email as their Apple ID and I believe there was a 90 day waiting period before their Apple ID could be set to that iCloud email address.

That's correct, after three months you can setup your iCloud mail as Apple ID
