great question. it depends on your threat model. proton doesn't even recommend itself if you are the next edward snowden. email is not the most secure medium of communication https://proton.me/blog/protonmail-threat-model
but imo it's great for most people. i both use and recommend it...especially for custom domains, unlimited access to #simplelogin and a mobile vpn with splittunneling on android.
that said, it's not best infosec/opsec to keep all of your eggs in one basket. i still use and recommend bitwarden and keepass over proton pass and i'd be keen to use #mullvad vpn more if it offered splittunneling etc
Just choose the operator which gives you a chance to control your e-mail in the way you want to for free e.g.
-pop3 or imap
-using pgp/gpg - your keys with password
-autocrypt or not (delta.chat)
As Asa said, don't put all eggs to one basket. Protonmail creates another walled garden.
Remember, ca.20 years ago Gmail was perceived as a fency email. People paid to have one.
Currently Gmail refuses some people possibility log in even if they have password. You have no option to challenge this.
