So is it recommended to remove your phone number from your Google account to ensure it's not used to ever reset the password?

Yes. Google will constantly remind you to add one to “secure” your account, but just ignore it. You want no recovery emails and just an authenticator app.

They are currently trying to force me to add my mobile number to gmail. If I get logged out they are going to lock me out until I do.
