I’m using Proton right now. Someone suggest I should get a Gmail instead for higher chance of success. Is that true? How risky is it for Google sanning those mails in terms of privacy?

They should not record the IP in the first place. It looks like you are right about using a VPN on top of their email service according to this.

Proton can be forced to log IP addresses via a Swiss Court order (at least for its Email service)
