I think using servicename@domain would be fine, the common ones like support, webmaster, etc… are the ones to avoid. And using a unique one per service helps when a service inevitably leaks that email address, you can just change it and block the old one.

I actually used to use service@domain.tld but decided to switch because of a few reasons. Using the name of the service as username can make it obvious it’s an email aliases and also that the domain is (probably) used by a single person. In addition to that, from a security standpoint it may make it easier for bad actors to get access to your accounts because the email address reveals which service it belongs to. Depending on your threat model, it’s worth considering something-random@domain.tld instead.
