Why not just download your old mail and archive it then? Google provides an easy way to do this (Google Takeout).
As in, I don't see the problem with having more storage - you use only as much as you want.
Personally, I find having all my mail searchable from any computer useful. And Google does provide lots of security features (2FA, suspicious login detection, new login alerts, login audit logs etc)
