This is the way. I would be lost without a domain. Even mail is selfhosted with my domain. But I only use subdomains, the real domain is abandoned.
See email is one of the few things I don't host. I host a webmail frontend, and use my domain. But PurelyMail is an amazing service that's so cheap it's basically free at personal scale with very few limits. I didn't really care to try and deal with having all my mail sent to spam.
Been with purely mail for about a year and it's been great!
I just use stalwart - mail, it's just one docker container, has bleeding edge functions like jmap and there is no need of deeper knowledge. I refer my domain on the settings and got a list of all needed dns-records.
It takes 2-4 days to get SSL and dmarc answers from the big mail-players and if there is nothing wrong with your IP or your records then there is no mail going into spam of someone else.
