I'm going to mirror most of the other commenters in saying - I've been doing this for nearly a decade and have basically never had an issue with it and have absolutely prevented some spam because of it. The "social awkwardness" problem of using "Company@example.com" can be solved by using "PineappleBanana@example.com" instead or random characters or my personal favorite throwaway "[Company]SentMeSpam@example.com". Yea, you might have to use a password manager to know which random string of nouns is tied to what account - but no more "social awkwardness" of using the company name in your email (can't say I've ever had that experience either...)

In fact the only issues I've ever had with a "non-standard" email address (aka: not @gmail, @yahoo, @hotmail, etc.) is that one of my domains is a .ru address and even before the modern-day issues surrounding Russia .ru addresses get blocked in many places. My fallback email is an email hosted by https://cock.li which being chan-adjacent also gets blocked so occasionally I simply have to accept that I am not wanted as a user because my email isn't good enough.
