Coinos.io allows you to create your own Lightning Address

You can just register at https://coinos.io with username+password and that gives you Lightning address username@coinos.io.
Anyone that has a wallet that supports Lightning addresses (e.g. in Breez just paste it in the Send>Invoice menu) can then pay you.
For example nout@coinos.io ;)

Yep, this LN address is awesome. I created several (for private usage) with my own domain too. Here are some instructions how to do it with a federated server or with your own server https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/how-to-use-lightning-address

I propose it here also to be integrated into Umbrel https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/issues/897

Are these also backwards compatible e-mail addresses? While coinos.io hasn't built this feature yet, is it possible for them to (for instance) forward e-mail sent to the same address?

I don't see why not. Any email provider could support Lightning Addresses.

To run your own coinos-server, you would need to stand up your own Lightning, Bitcoin and whatever else server?
I know it's kind of against the spirit, but for people who don't want to run their own Bitcoin/Lightning/etc. servers, like a coffee shop kiosk, what are the options?

They have to use a centralized solution, like coins.io or (soon?) stacker.news.
There may be an option to have a decentralized routing scheme with bolt12, but at this point someone still needs to register a domain.
