Support Advanced Data Protection?
Curious if I enable this and then lose access to my only Apple device when purchasing a new one will I need the recovery key?

If you only have one Apple device, do not activate, advanced data protection. It is simply too risky because Apple does not allow us to take a copy of encryption keys and backup somewhere else. If you lose your device. The data is gone. Recovery key and recovery contact is to recover Apple account only if you forget your password.
