There is really no point going further than this. It's more likely that someone will type the email wrong but still valid than they will type it completely invalid. There are also some completely wrong validators out there which expect the TLD to be 2-3 chars only.

The ultimate email validation is just trying to send an email to the address and confirming with a code/link.

I have had people rewrite my .io to .com because they were sure it was wrong, or something like that.
