If I was that concerned, I'd get a burner phone with a prepaid SIM card and create my account from a public computer while covering my face.

Plus, as somebody else already said: having JS enabled seems pretty much mandatory if you want to be able to decrypt your emails client-side.

In the EU countries, it has (by law) become very hard to obtain an anonymous prepaid SIM card.
