Buying Another Domain for Email Forwarding Service (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I own a custom domain for my main email provider so if I switch to a new one I won't have to change all my address for contacting people. I am considering buy a separate domain for just my email forwarding service.

What do people on here do?

Current Setup:

domain1.com - for main email

alias.domain1.com - for email forwarding with Addy.io

New Option:

domain1.com - for main email

domain2.com - for email forwarding with Addy.io

This is what I do (but simplelogin). I have a wildcard address (*.email@domain2.com) that let's me setup individual accounts for each service (e.g., lemmy.email@domain2.com)

myname@domain1.com is only shared with real humans or critical services that I don't want to risk dealing with the hassle if simplelogin goes belly up (I know I can move the DNS records and recreate the accounts, but at this point I have dozens of email addresses and am prone to forgetting things).
