Real question: why do people use local email clients at all? What benefit does it have over using google/outlook/fastmail web client where you never have to worry about things breaking or desyncing, ever?

How so? Must be your machine. Gmail has always worked flawlessly and is faster and more responsive somehow than these native mail clients. When I've tried to use Outlook or Mail.app sometimes across multiple commuters and OSS and years I've had to wait several minutes for 'send/recieve' or even restart the computer to make it send whatever is in outbox, and even that doesn't work until it decides to randomly work later on. So web clients are surprisingly much more superior.

There are two possible emails: work and personal (and you set up forwarding for your shopping and alias emails etc to your main one), and they should be as separate as possible anyway. Any other email account is not important enough to check regularly and you use mailinator for those purposes. If you have to keep up with a dizzying amount of emails for work just get a new job.
