I barely use Google for anything now. My email is still with them for historic reasons but other than that I rarely use them. My default search is DuckDuckGo and beyond that I don’t even have to make a conscious effort.
Just as I’m writing this is I realise I also use Google Maps.
The only difficult part of moving your email from gmail is changing your email everywhere and telling everyone your new. Moving the messages themselves is easy. Many (for paid) services have a moving functionality.
I recently migrated to Protonmail, and the biggest issue I had was a good number of sites/apps wouldn’t let me update my email address to my new protonmail address.

I lucked out on that front and could use — so much easier for professional stuff. For other stuff I use my domain to make it cool sounding :)
