Given all the spam I've been getting on my old personal address, I want to protect my new personal address from bots

those of you who are pros or talented amateurs at this sort of thing. Feel free to tell me I'm being overly paranoid
or overdoing it if I am.
I don't think I fit your categories. I'm just a guy who uses mail providers with decent spam filters and the spam filter
in Thunderbird. With Yahoo, Gmail and the ISP where I have web storage and some specialized email addresses, I get close
to no spam.
I do nothing special, just occasionally say a message is spam, which trains the
filter.
I had been getting a few from someone enterprising who changes sender address, subject and content with each try, in
attempts to get me to click on an attachment. But they are few and transparent. Maybe they've gone away recently?
The view from here is that you may be being overly paranoid.
