I personally would not like the complexity of one Bitwarden account, two Authy accounts, and five email accounts! I wonder if your current desire to "go that extra distance" now would fade, and in the future the complexity of your proposed structure would lead to problems.
You are correct; that certainly is possible - this setup was my engineer's instincts for maximum modularity and separation.
My ideal password manager and TOTP account feature would have been something that allows a random username as the account key and does not require any email. That would have cut down the emails to only 2.
But all these password managers and 2FA accounts require email - I would have guessed random username would be harder to crack and would be better anonymized.
A great way to go about it is workflow and impact if the account was breached or access was lost. For me, most services don’t matter that much although I use otp if I can. I have the main password database somewhere, and for less impactful service and often used ones, they are on the keyring system (protected by disk encryption). And keys have passphrases.
