2FA with Google has screwed me out of an important account when I switched phone numbers after moving countries. I was on the phone with customer service for countless hours and customer support more or less directly said that there's nothing that can be done. The only way I was able to recover the account was some internal process with a friend that worked at Google at the time. This was 5 years ago. I have never opted into 2FA since.
