91 does have a lot of things to like (once you find them)

It is not the security in Google you need to worry about, it is yours. See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird/

That would be the case. It has not been needed for some years really. I have been struggling since about 2012 to understand really what the provider offers that is not available using caldav other than the simplicity that the Thunderbird 91 inbuilt calendar detection now provides.

This blog post in 2013 is about Google caldav and Lightning and was written by the guy that maintains the gdata provider. https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/ so it has not been needed since then at least.
