That depends on your risk tolerance, which is a decision you have to make yourself.
The real question is, where do you draw the line. You can even make a convincing case that gmail can be trusted with your data. Actually, many people feel that way, so it’s not a bizarre or rare stance. Alternatively, you can also say that self hosting everything is the only way to be sure.
Yup. I've weighed the costs and benefits, and I'm still using Gmail myself.
Exactly. if you're worried about random hackers getting their hands on your emails, gmail is totally good enough. If you're worried about something else, it might not be. Depends on what exactly "keeps you awake at night".
