I’ve been using Express and had a great experience so far, but I may want to try a Proton subscription for cloud space and more emails. It also comes with a VPN service but I’m a little leary on trying something new. Any thoughts on Proton VPN?

You can always try out their free Tier.

While you get limited bandwidth it's really okayish for normal use. Do not try to connect over a peer2peer connection, it's disabled in the free tier and your connection goes "Wooosh! *

I'm very Happy with their free tier, I even route my mobile's traffic through the same VPN connection with wireguard and some iptables.

Do not try to download over torrent, it's disabled in the free tier.

Found that out when a friend shared their screen on Discord and my internet went down lol. It's all p2p traffic.
