Yes, you are probably better served by your own setup. And one of these days I need to set myself to do some proper email encryption. But I believe I tried ProtonMail, and found it to be cumbersome. (I seem to recall that Nik offered to give us all a lesson in this matter...? although I tend to do things on my own time, so maybe before I die I will get all my stuff straight.) Anyway, so you don't need the tdewallet for that. But still (I believe) you ought to use it to protect your Kmail against changes in your configuration settings. I don't know quite how ProtonMail interacts with Kmail, though, so maybe others know better. My gut instinct, though, is to say that you ought to hang onto that tdewallet. I suppose you could always uninstall it, see what happens, then reinstall if something gets messed up.
