> One issue is that the domain needs to be with Go Daddy

Absolute dealbreaker.

There's no real reason why I can't just point my MX at them, do the additional configuration[*] and have them host my mail.

Any explaination would be pure (and utter) BS.

[*] being setting spf, dkim records and stuff

I don't think this is true; I am running Microsoft 365 and use AWS Route 53 and manually set up DNS records to work with Microsoft 365 just fine.

This is comparing o365 business and the personal offering.

The personal/home offering requires godaddy for the domain.

This is not accurate. I host through Site ground and have absolutely no issues setting O365 as my mail provider.
