If your domain registar bans you, you’ll lose your email all the same.

First, their customer service (…).

Second, if there are accusations made against you, they will shut you down and side with your accuser more often than not.“ https://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discuss...

Maybe? I would hope that you could raise the issue with the dowmain registry or ultimately ICANN if the registrar does not let you move the domain elsewhere after banning you. Registrars do not have the same platform ownership over domains that Google has over gmail accounts, they are just middlemen.

Domain registrars are indeed a single point of failure :(. Do you recommend something here? Because I haven't found a proper solution myself.
Fair point. I think in this case relying on a domain registrar or an email service is somewhat inevitable, though.
