Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don't mind if it's a paid service if it's robust.

I share my Google Calendar with my wife (also on Google). If I wanted to modify or even view her calendar, is that still possible?

This is also what I do, I think it's impossible with Proton, though you can with Fastmail. This is the feature request for proton mail: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/42344065-read-write-sync-with-other-calendars-office365-g

I'm currently still using Google calendar with Fastmail, I can edit in fastmail and everything is synced with Google calendar.

I'm willing to stop using Google services, but I can't ask the same from others. This is why I still use google calendar and google photos. To share with my family.

So from Fastmail you can see/modify the calendar in Google that's been shared with you?

I'd like to be able to keep the shared calendar feature that I currently use in Google with my wife. It's so handy for organising things.

Yes, you can sync the calendars from a google account, so you can see/modify all the calendars that you have on that google account. Fastmail becomes a client for google calendar. But you can also have your own personal calendars inside Fastmail, not synced with google calendar.
