When your most important contacts use outlook, it does not matter what you do. Sending and receiving email when almost nobody else is sending and receiving is only small help.

Some problems are not solved by individual choice. If 30-40% of your important contacts use service is down, your ability to work goes down dramatically.

Enough of my contacts use Gmail. But both of these have more uptime than my self-hosted email.

Personal email is almost exclusively for OTP, reminders/invoice.
