I'm in the U.S. and doing the same. While EU laws don't protect me as well as they would someone on the correct side of the pond, I do still benefit from better integrity and transparency.

Would you be up for making recommendations?

Sure ! Here you can find a list of alternatives :

I self hosting almost everything, but for a complete suite of services take at look at Infomaniak : https://www.infomaniak.com/en

Protonmail (https://proton.me/mail) or Tutanota (https://tuta.com/) for end-to-end encrypted emails, Filen (https://filen.io/) for encrypted Cloud Storage

Filen is becoming pretty awesome not only as worde alternative but as best sync storage period (and its e2e). They dobt have teams/bussines yet but its comming for sure.

Infomaniak is great email.

FYI Proton mail (or, they claim, just the CEO) is pro Trump.

for plain e-mail, recommend migadu.com (swiss) . They do only that

one thing that seems tricky though, is smartphone OS software. Apple + Google is on like 99% of everything. i went few years with Sailfish, all fine.. but they support only 5y+ old devices, for a reason or another.. and i got tired of waiting, and switched to Android. hmmm

I bought an used phone and an used tablet supported by LineageOS. I installed e/OS (derived from LineageOS) on the phone and LineageOS on the tablet. The hardware is like new and with "debloated" software it works very well.
