No + required. There are hundreds of companies offering aliases using their shared domain.

Even if your alias is leaked they can remove the + part and it’ll lead to your original email.

At the same time, it is trivially easy to strip a + alias, so I’d not trust it to do anything much at all.

If you use aliases for all services, it makes it slightly harder to automate trying one leaked email on another site, since the hacker needs to add the new alias on the other service.
No one is going through of all these credentials manually, so any extra obscurity can actually bring you security in a pinch. Although if you have different passwords this shouldn’t matter much…
