I sell products through cold outreach and naturally, many clients are hesitant to purchase.
I have contemplated using PayPal G&S which offers buyer protection so that they will feel more safe.

I have heard that this isn't very smart because PayPal are more likely to investigate G&S vs F&F which might get the stealth account locked up. I have no means of verifying it if there were to happen due to it being a stealth account.

Does anyone have any suggestions or perhaps alternatives?

if won't verify it then you are just giving paypal free money . they will lock it and be happy you gave it to them
 
It can be troublesome to move some hundreds or thousands of dollars solely from F&F, it's suspicious to have so many friends and family members, especially if you are selling internationally, it will become a bit obvious that you are abusing their F&F system for sales
 
If you are ready for hold funds (21 days) and your customers are generally happy with your product or service. Then yes, g/s is better.
