Taking (Back?) My Internet Privacy and Presence
Personally, I use https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup to archive all my emails and then only keep them on the remote server for as long as I need to (basically until I read them and respond or download an attachment into https://docs.paperless-ngx.com )
- Any service for archiving/downloading emails?

Is there a self hosted app that can backup my google email?
You'd need an IMAP backup tool. For example: https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup . Add it to cron if you want it to backup periodically.

Probably not the best solution for end-users, though.

Seeking Advice on Backing Up Emails from External Email Providers - Not Hosting
There are also isync and OfflineIMAP which sync email locally.

Backing up mails with MailPlus Server (MPS)
For the sync / import functionality the MSP uses offlineimap, which is another counterpart to IMAPSYNC. Changing the import tool will not bring up the solution to the main problem, that I am not able to reset the imported stuff back to zero in order to test the different scenarios of the main use case.

What an excellent idea!
Don't risk relying on someone else's hardware or service, use something like Offlineimap or Mbsync to sync your emails to your computer then automate multiple backups.

Where did package version come from?
https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/offlineimap/ has the latest version at 8.0.0 but the website https://www.offlineimap.org/ and github show 7.3.4. Does anyone what this upgrade is and where did 8.0.0 come from?
On https://www.offlineimap.org there is still a link to the repository that uses Python 2 which is no longer supported. At https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3, development apparently continues with Python 3. There is version 8.0.0 available (https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/releases/tag/v8.0.0)
