For what it's worth, the right VPN will allow you to port forward
AFAIK Proton is the only one, or at least one of the very few, in the market that supports Port Forwarding. Mullvad got rid of theirs, which frankly sucks because although my experience has been (mostly) great, I've also heard great things about Mullvad, and it's best (and nice) to have competitive alternatives to choose from.
Windscribe has port forwarding on static VPN's, which is what I use
They also have port forwarding without static IP, but you have to renew the port every 7 days. Which is what I use, I don't mind changing port once a week.
I remembered they had port forwarding on regular plans but I didn't want to give any wrong info, and couldn't look it up to confirm at the time.
That's good to hear, the nice thing about that is their free plans (free 10gb, free 50gb) should be able to utilize that as well which is pretty nice.
I'm on T-Mobile Home Internet which is inherently double natted, no way around it. For most gaming it doesn't matter, but it's a pain in the ass for anything related to personal servers, or homebrew projects like Slippi (Smash Bros Melee online). So, with a free plan one could potentially get away with not even having to pay for a monthly fee, there's a lot of uses for port forwarding that use next to no data
