I would recommend something like stalwart, which is just a single binary and works. Gives you a web interface and a zonefile you can just copy paste into your DNS including all correct DMARC DKIM SPF and autodiscovery records.
Setting postfix, dovecot etc. up from scratch can be a bit time consuming and annoying.
Deliverability depends on where it is hosted, many VPC providers IP space is completely blocked in spam filters.
The threat model is that all communication is recorded and will be decrypted once the technology becomes available. The question then becomes for how long you want your data to be secure. If its for example 40 years, you need to chose an algorithm today that is still secure in 40 years.
