Don't put all your eggs in the same basket.

I have my bank statements in an email account by a provider that is unlikely to ban people for questionable and unrelated offenses.

(You can totally get banned from Google's entire platform if you do something wrong on the Play store after e.g. being pressured to do so by your employer.)

Most of my private email communication (which has dwindled to a tiny number of messages per month) is on GMail.

I've also got a couple other addresses in addition to that. I also have email addresses on my own domain, but I don't know if I'm going to keep that domain forever, as it costs a lot of money.

Devil's advocate: that possibility strengthens your position when your employer tries to pressure you to do something neither you nor Google find acceptable.
