> The appeal of aliases for me is to know who leaked my email and where
That’s exactly how I started, probably more than 20 years ago with a custom domain.

Yes, there is no shortcut, but I “only” have 50 ish aliases, if I had 500 I would custom domains would be essential but I would never let myself go above 100.
One positive I found was that forcing myself to revisit my contacts led to a review of each one. Quite a few didn’t make it into the new system! And quite a few got new passwords as well as new aliases.
