I personally use simeplogin and it is very nice, but... I feel uneasy.
I know that I own my domain and the alias is functional, but... I
don't feel safe with my aliases being stored on simplelogin. Is there
a way I could store my aliases on my own hardware? If by some rare
occurance, simplelogin should kick the bucket. How would I go about
recovering my aliases? Could I just re-establsih on a different alias
service and expect my aliases to be functional?

If the aliases are on a domain name that you do not own/control, there
is nothing you can do to "back them up".

If the aliases are on your own domain name, use a mail service (or
setup a mail server) to receive emails for your domain, and enable the
catch-all account and/or forward the received mails accordingly.

if you feel uneasy about simplelogin, you know you could self host it?
this is what I do (BTW, also selfhost anonaddy - kind of testing them
both), using docker compose

with simplelogin: it's running great, only trick was, the selfhost
instructions refer to old version, if you want more recent version,
you can find necessary changes in github issues. All in all, it was
not too difficult
