I have about a 20% failure rate where email address validation fields reject the + character

and knowing it's gmail, it's trivial now for the company to simply drop the +... part and store/use your real email address.
Ah. You can set up dash-suffixing if you're using a custom domain with gmail. Create a new "catch-all" email account. Log into that new catch-all account, and create forwarding rules for alice-* to go to alice@example.com, bob-* to go to bob@example.com, ...

I've done this for more than a decade.
