Thing is, with other providers, all I'm getting is email. With Google, I'm getting a bunch of services, all interconnected, and any of them could potentially get my entire Google account banned. One of the fuck ups I can recall is a bunch of people getting their Google account banned because they typed in chat of a Youtube livestream and some algorithm falsely picked it up, cutting them off from everything.

Yes, it is a good idea to use multiple Google accounts to separate these concerns. Google explicitly allows this[1].

that doesn't really solve the issue because Google can close all of the accounts associated with you in one fell swoop.
