Tbh with GSuite + a 5$ domain I get catch alls for minimal effort.

I used to use + addressing schemes, but abandoned it for the reasons you mentioned (websites breaking horribly).

Exactly. Catch-all setup on Google Workspace/G Suite/too-many-renames is usually obtuse but it’s a one-time tutorial effort.

I wonder if there's a way to script setting it up to be honest, I end up about an hour deep in help docs each time I set up a new domain+email trying to work out how to make a catch all and how to configure the thing so replies come from the right email.

Oh, I’ve never realized replies could be made to come from the right email. I manually add addresses as-needed (once a month or so).

I think there’s an unofficial Terraform provider but I haven’t looked recently.
