I'd rather pay hundreds of dollars for software upfront than a monthly subscription. But I'm still considering paying for the cheapest Proton option.

You can also pay for Proton's services yearly and bi-annually: https://proton.me/mail/pricing

By monthly subscription I mean any subscription. An annual subscription is still a subscription. I want to pay for a perpetual license and never pay again. Unfortunately that would be difficult for an ongoing live service such as email.

I agree. I utilize the annual plan so it's a bit cheaper.
