The email address itself is what's irreplaceable for me because it's tied into my identity at this point.

The other soft stuff is fairly trivially backed up and not locked in to any vendor. The devices would need to be replaced, which would be annoying mainly due to cost but would have no long term impact beyond that.

I get your point, but losing my email address would be orders of magnitude more painful for me than those other things.
