The notifications themselves are still end-to-end encrypted though (from the Proton Mail notification server to the client on your phone), so Google, Apple or any other push notification provider can't read them.
sure, I believe that. though google still knows precisely if you receive a new mail, and the bigger problem is that without google services notifications won't work whatsoever
Currently, yes. But they are working on they're own notification systems (probably something based on WebSocket, similar to what Signal does), hopefully it will also be compatible with UnifiedPush. There's a feature request for this on the Proton user feedback tracker: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/47423924-support-unifiedpush-for-android-notifications
they have been working on it for years, as I remember. In the meantime they have released half a dozen software that I believe are more complex than a simple notification system.
