If all you want is the email address, you can simply transfer your domain to Google Domains and use their free GMail integration. That'll save you $48/year assuming you don't value any of the other paid features in Google Apps.

I'd be afraid of Google's control over my domain name registration. Even if they don't do anything malicious, their "wall of silence" with respect to support leaves me very apprehensive. (Some people say it's different for paid-product support, but I don't know whether this includes $12/year domain name registration -- or will so in future.)
We had a few customers complain to us that they couldn't forward customer support messages from Yahoo to Reamaze. Now we know why. Frankly, a very un-customer move by Yahoo.
This is going to make people want to move off Yahoo even more

If you can manage DNS yourself, you can set MX to Google or another provider.
Just last week I noticed a charge on my credit cars from Yahoo Ad Free mail. There was an online link to cancel but no apparent way to request a refund. I have no idea how I ended up getting signed up for this. I've long used Yahoo as pretty much a spam bucket when I have to give out an address to someone I don't care to get emails from.
