If I missed a payment does my email get deleted? Or is it just held until I pay up again? My fear is losing my stuff because I forgot to pay after a card change or something.

I eventually want a NAS to self host cloud storage and all that too but costs are a big problem so I'm stuck with Google for the meantime anyway with 14 gigs of stuff.

    Free accounts get removed after an inactivity period, but paid accounts remain (Relevant FAQ). You can also check on other providers' policies like Proton to see how they handle things if you'd prefer them instead.

    In my experience I haven't had any issues even after changing payment methods.

    (Also, as for hosting stuff, MEGA is encrypted and gives you 20GB off the bat without a google account requirement)
