These days it’s really about managing SPF and DKIM records. But I usually tell people just “use an email provider”. It doesn’t have to be a big one or anything, just someone else because email is an enormous headache and it’s just frankly not worth it.
My understanding is that for reliable email, you need to host with microsoft or google otherwise you are more likely to get sorted into junk mail. If that is incorrect, please let me know.
I don’t know. I never had a problems with a smaller mail provider.

Define smaller.
I gave up running mail through my own domain hosted by a “smaller” provider (Canadian hosting company with less than 1M clients) because I was constantly having delivery issues because somebody somewhere on an adjacent subnet got blacklisted for SPAM, or worse.

I would guess a few thousand users.

That might be borderline - probably easiest (and most cost efficient) to work through a big provider (M$, Google, etc) to let them solve the problems for you, for a small fee, rather than tasking 0.1 FTEs on constantly whacking the moles.

I don’t know why it should be easier. I pay this provider and I get a working email account without problems.
