Seeing as this is going to be rather annoying process regardless, might I tempt you to consider non-Google alternatives for at least some of those services? Here are some that have good family/organisation support.

Protonmail[0], for example, has Mail, Calendar, and a Drive service. Pricing is on the high side, unfortunately.

Migadu[1] has Mail and Calendar, and pricing is particularly attractive.

I've considered switching to Migadu in the past, but an outgoing limit of 20/day on the "micro" plan seems weirdly low, especially considering they're advertising it as being for families. It would just take e.g. one family member sending holiday greetings to a few friends to use up everyone's budget for the day. Having your outgoing emails randomly delayed for 24 hours just doesn't feel right for me.

The next higher plan would already have me pay almost five times as much and apart from the higher limits just enables business features that are unnecessary for families.

Yah, I'm currently a (otherwise happy) Migadu customer, and I also think the send limit on the micro plan is strangely low.

I've only personally hit the limit once in the last two years, but I have a hard time believing that e.g.: 100 emails a day would impact their bottom line. I'm kinda tempted to just use Sendgrid's free tier for SMTP which is 100/d.
