Utilizing fancy gTLDs can still prevent you from receiving mail. Not due to a decision to explicitly block it but because it doesn’t match whatever regular expression they use to validate. Notably, .email fails consistently due to it being >3 characters. I tried to convert to using first@last.email and there is a significant minority of sites that didn’t allow it.

The only similar problem I've experienced is sometimes companies will get uppity if you put their company name in the email address you give them. But it's easy enough to just make up a difference nonce for those cases (or start your scheme based on opaque nonces for everyone). I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop and surveillance companies to start discriminating against non-surveillance-company email addresses the way they do against VOIP phone numbers.
