This is so fucking annoying. I specifically used Google Domains so I can have a trivial email forwarding to my Gmail without data exiting Google's servers.
I'm in the same boat you are, I had numerous domains (over a dozen) each with e-mail forwards to a single gmail account. I ended moving my domain registration to AWS Route 53 and pointing my DNS over to cloudflare. Cloudflare offers both DNS and e-mail forwarding for free, so I'm back in business. They also provide analytics on email forwarding that google lacked. not gonna miss google one bit.
Right but now CloudFlare reads all the email. 🥲
correct, and I'm aware that google has all this information as well. With the way e-mail gets routed, there's always a 3rd party that can acquire some or all of the information contained in an e-mail.
Have you got a good guide? I have about 8 domains with email 5 log-in's for family. Really getting sick of google

on the cloudflare side, you click on your domain from the home page and select the Email tab on the left and follow their instructions. on the gmail side, you don't need to do anything beyond responding to cloudflares email confirmation unless you want to setup reply-to addresses for one or more of your forwarded accounts. To do that, follow this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en
