My understanding is this would make it illegal to not put your real address there. You can willingly break the law, but that'll create other issues for you.

As someone who doesn't live in the EU why should I concern myself with their laws? It sounds bad, but I won't obey it.

This proposal is regarding EU TLD registrars. Country TLDs in the EU (.de, .fr, .se etc) already require you to be an EU resident.
So you wouldn't be subject to these rules as you're not entitled to hold one of those domains.

You are wrong about at least .se. You do not need to be sn EU resident to own a .se domain.

The registrar is subject to EU law, so they could be forced to limit or remove your access to your domain

Mailing addresses that are not your physical address may be a decent workaround, but should that even be necessary?

When opening a mailbox, I had to provide ID and a notarized signature.

But will you also need to update it when you move?
