Plus addressing (your-email+somearbitrarytag@domain.com) is also a nice tool at your disposal. Helps track where the spam is coming from. I've found few/none trim it when storing addresses so it consistently works.

It should still work. It’s become kind of a common pattern. I’ve found it works in Proton Mail too which is nice.
