How reliable is it to self host SimpleLogin, AnonAddy (addy), etc?

I have a private @gmail and a business @company.com (also via gmail),
which I heavily rely on. Due to a recent data-leak somewhere, I'm now
receiving unstoppable spam on my @gmail, and decided to set up a new
account on proton. I came across SimpleLogin, and thought that I could
use that instead of protons custom domain feature for both
@company.com and @example.com

Since I also host some stuff myself, I went through the self-hosting
process of SimpleLogin, which was a pita dealing with postfix. But
now, everything is running fine and I can send/receive @exampke.com
emails, which I tested with @gmail and @company.com (gmail).

Even though it was a nice learning experience, I'm starting to wonder
whether my setup is future proof and reliable, especially when it
comes to spam. I really don't want my @company.com mails to land in
customers spam folders.

So my question is, how reliable is a self hosted email-forwarding
solution, and how does it compare with a self-hosted mail service.
Like, are these two equal in terms when it comes to precautions etc?

DMARC records should help

If you know what you're doing: reliable.
If not: good luck.
