I went back to using my cell number for exactly this reason. My Google Voice number still works, but I don't want to risk it getting locked out for no reason.

I have stopped using Gmail, Google One, and Google Voice.

I still use photos, contacts, and calendar, but I frequently do takeouts of all those and can handle it if they die.

It's trouble I just don't need. But I'm guessing Google doesn't notice if a few of us leave, so why should they change?
