If you selfhost the email on your own hardware, then the IP will be apparent to anyone. If you selfhost it on somebody else’s hardware, they can be legally compelled to log your IP as happened here with proton.

I personally use migadu. Don’t know about how private it is but I is cheap and allows for loads of addresses and domains.
