On: ProtonMail now offers elliptic curve cryptography

But is your threat model someone reading your old email?

For most people the big risk is that their email can be leveraged to gain access to banks, social media etc through password resets.

I agree, access to other accounts is of greater threat.

When I created this account, I wanted to build upon the premise of privacy of proton mail & so I created using VPN, with no personal link whatsoever (hence no recovery email).

Unfortunately when my decryption password failed, I had no means of recovery until I attempted to talk through support successfully.

Hm. I once had an issue with a decryption password failing despite using a manager (not on Protonmail)

It ended up being that a trailing newline got added.

It's a long shot but worth looking into...
