I know it's tough (migrated off G Suite Legacy myself) but it's probably best for the long run since G Suite accounts have less consumer features (in my case, lack of play store reviews and free Google Voice) and it's unlikely to change.
There are many submissions on HN discussing alternatives. Fastmail, Protonmail, iCloud+ (I switched to this), Microsoft 365 are frequently mentioned. I think Zoho also had a free plan.
It definitely wasn't the sole reason, but a sign that G Suite wouldn't maintain feature parity with consumer Gmail accounts. There are other features like Google Play library sharing which won't be added.
Yeah, people who used Google Voice early on were exempted from paying for managed Google Voice. It might be possible to port your Google Voice to a consumer Gmail account.
