Consolidation of "trusted" mail providers (as if Google is trustworthy with its scanning of mails) is a real threat to federated mail. One can only hope that IT isn't stupid or greedy enough to sell it as that. To forbid the usage of Gmail should be sensible policy for any enterprise.
Spam is a problem, but honestly 15 year old slightly trained spam filter with a sensible config can filter all without any false positives.
Not that mail is not without its problems, but any modern alternative will suck much more. It will be a service attached to a corporation you will again make yourself dependent on. I feel for those whose Google accounts get locked, but to a large degree it is their own fault.
I don't know a lot of corps that block unknown mail servers. Have it sign outgoing mail with your known domains and your mail will not land in some sandbox or spam filter.

I'd rather get more spam in my inbox than miss the false positives (in fact most of what's in my spam folder is technically legitimate, but usually just broadcast emails from organizations I happen to have used my email address for at some point in the past). But I haven't found a way to sufficiently lower the threshold for spam detection for any email service I've used to avoid that problem.
