Right, that is what I meant - you’re then pushing the risk to the management of that secondary protonmail or gmail account. So you basically always rely on a third party to manage the registrar account.

Oh I see. I agree that it is a risk, so - in the vein of another advice in this thread - if you have a co cern about third party email provider, update your domain records to another provider.
Basically, if you register your domain through namecheap, then after setting up email at *@ximeng.net, don't update your email address to be [email protected] when changing the rest of your accounts. Reason being, if for some reason there is a problem with the domain, you don't want your only means of fixing that problem to potentially be invalid.
Therefore it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep the account associated with your registrar still on the original Gmail address (or if you are really paranoid, create a new email address through someone like protonmail just for your registrar account).
