It’s better to use a custom domain or no alias at all for important personal stuff, but if your goal isn’t to be unidentifiable by the organization, then you can safely use your own name in the adresses. You will still have the advantage of spam control.
One downside I can think of is that the (government) organization will know that you use a particular aliasing service, which may be problematic in some situations.
That’s why you use a VPN/proxy everytime everywhere, not to sound too paranoid.

Do you mean “red hat” for RHEL or USA republicans?
I slowly start to believe that sh.itjust.works needs to be defederated. I’ve been seeing too many idiots on that instance lately.
The Nazis defeated the Nazis, just as Hitler killed WWII’s villain, Hitler! It’s all a big circle!
Depending on your usage of a VPN, it can help your anonymity, but it’s very much not necessary.
When using Tor over VPN, the data going through the VPN’s server is already encrypted for Tor, but your IP is visible to the “black box”. Your anonymity should theoretically still be in effect even if someone reads your traffic.
When using VPN over Tor, the data itself isn’t encrypted by Tor anymore, but the IP isn’t your original IP, but the exit node’s. Your anonymity depends on how you paid for the VPN (Monero > Cash by mail > Credit card).
There is no evidence that the Tor network is compromised by the US government. It’s an open source network run by many volunteers all over the world. No FBI or CIA agent is ever gonna tell you to use Tor.
Pacman installs binaries in the root partition because they are installed system-wide. I don’t think that pacman can install binaries for a single user (inside the home partition).
One way of achieving that would be compiling or downloading the binaries manually as a normal user and putting the .desktop file in .local/share/applications. The program would then be only accessible for a single user though.

The advantage of FreeTube is that if it doesn’t work, it can use an Invidious instance as a fallback.
