Google will suspend accounts for many things from policy violations to chargebacks. Not sure how difficult it is to get ahold of a human to resolve it but usually the story goes that once they drop the hammer on you, you're done.
If the same is for Proto this could be devastating.
My recommendation is to use your OWN email domain. If for X or Y reason your account get frozen, banned, lost, whatever you can just migrate to a new email provider by changing the DNS/Email related records to your new provider. You won't be able to rescue your old emails unless you archived them somewhere locally but at least you'll recover access to it.
Losing access to your email which is used across dozens or hundreds of services is no fun. You'll hate yourself forever for it.
I like Fastmail because with the 1Password integration you can make new aliases on the fly for shady websites or different services.
This provides security as your email is now unique to that website so you dont expose your more sensitive and critical email addresses, and second if you start receiving spam you'll know which service/website is sharing your data. On top of that the 1Password management will make it a breeze to have very safe passwords and keep track of all your login details including the Facebook/Gmail/LinkedIn/etc login, OTPs, complex field logins such as insurance companies asking for policy ID, name and birthday to login 1P will perfectly manage that for you. Same goes for everything.
As for security both companies have great track record. For privacy while they have no issues there might be some concerns.
But be warned 1Password and Fastmail are a one way road, you'll never want to leave once you taste the goodness.
