I'm looking for the same but since Proton mail is this popular, i fear enshitification is only a matter of time.

Any secret tip with unlimited adresses?

I don't trust Proton much, either. The more a company talks about how secure and private they are the more I think they're a honey pot, but maybe I'm paranoid. But I trust them more than I trust Google.

Not sure what you mean by a secret tip other than don't use Proton Pass's suggested email when it asks you if you want to create an alias when signing up for something. It just uses the domain name of the site minus the TLD as the address name. I make an alias using a random word. You can put a note with each alias that says what it goes with.

For a trustworthy mail hoster with unlimited addresses, not in danger of enshitification.

I'd say look at where the money comes from, and especially who the majority stakeholders are. If it's a publicly traded company, steer clear. Proton is majority owned by a nonprofit, so there aren't stockholders to maximize value for.

I'm not naive about Proton but you could do a whole lot worse than them.

In a perfect world it would be easy to self host email. It's easy enough to set up a bare SMTP server but that won't work outside of a lab.
