I appear to have opened a can of worms here, for which I apologize ...
Appreciate everyone's thoughts, and yeah -- it's free, so I'm not
expecting much.
I think the most irritating aspect of all this, is that I KNOW there is
a working Recovery Account tied to the e-mail address we're trying to
get into, but Google refuses to use it for whatever reason.
I get it -- the phone number no longer exists -- but then what's the
point of them allowing one to add an apparently useless Recovery e-mail
Account?

I don’t have an android phone.. I have a tablet which I’d have to
check to see if it has a sim slot…(3am here). However you’re saying
if I connect via another random/unconnected number it’s going to 2FA
to that instead of the one in the account? (If so that would be
even more brain dead…!)

You make valid and invalid points…. The trouble is I suspect
wires are crossed. Unless I also got the wrong end of the
stick the OP has a Gmail account they are unable to access.
So you get what you pay for is valid. My account was for and
only for the purchase of an App through Google’s version of
Apple’s App Store (Google Play?).. which means they were paid
all be it a small amount. The account uses my email address
at my email domain that has had no break in registration since
the account creation. The 2FA was forced on the account and
it refuses to use the email address as part of the 2FA instead
reverting to using an SMS to a defunct (and undeliverable)
Australian mobile telephone number. Therefore I believe my
original comment stands…and Google were paid for me having
that account further I had no choice in creating that account
because I would not have created it being given the option to
avoid Google in the first place.
As for GSuite… can-o-worms/flack…. Why would I pay for a
GSuite account/setup to get support for an account that was
used to download and pay for a non Google App from their “App
Store”…?

There's life at Google. Just pay for GSuite.
I'm not sure if you can run into the same issue if you have
one (and only one) GSuite administrator (we always have at
least 3), but their support is responsive for paid customers.
I'll pull the pin on this grenade and take the flack, but if
you aren't paying, why would you expect support? And if you
don't expect support, why would you do *anything* even
remotely important or rely on this free and unsupported
service you are using?

I gave up 5 years ago…. I have not seen any sign of
improvement since… only further decline.
If there is life at Google that can help I’m listening
and will stand corrected, however as I have asked more
than one time over the last 7 years in other places as
well. I expect more of the same and your assumption that
I am asking for help is misplaced at best.

From a personal perspective, if it does all go boom,
the loss of the spam farm called G-“we’re too big to
block”-mail will be a blessing on the world.
You started with a somewhat legit case and question,
seeking help -- and then you took a sharp and wrong
turn, making odd assumptions and alienating the very
people you wanted help from.
Good luck.
