Downside is that their main servers are in the US, which may be problematic these days if you are from outside the US.
I just moved away from Fastmail after 10+ years for this reason.

I just moved away from Fastmail after 10+ years for this reason.
as of this week, I've been going through the rigmarole of self-hosting my own email (again), for the same reason as you
any avoidable dependency on the US has become a red line
don't forget to tell fastmail that the reason you're leaving is because they host in the US!
(I also told them if they open a DC outside the reach of the US regime: I be happy to become a customer again)
Out of curiosity: Where did you migrate to?
Proton. There are some other good alternatives. But since the rest of the family was also using Fastmail, I needed a solution that was user-friendly enough. Besides that, Proton Drive also made it possible to finally move away from our Dropbox Family subscription.
