I have settings-adjusted Google account solely to buy games for the kids (family library).

Email with Migadu and self-hosted beyond that.

Calendar and contacts with EteSync.

Search with DuckDuckGo.

Browsing with FireFox. I keep Chromium around to overcome the odd poorly-written web site.

Documents moved to LibreOffice.

Maps via Google Maps, but of minimal importance.

Chromecast on its own firewalled SSID and VLAN for streaming Netflix to a TV.

Voice assistants via Amazon Echos.

https://takeout.google.com/ was useful for extracting data.

Unfortunately wife and kids use GMail, Contacts and Calendar.
