No, I do not keep envelopes except for a small pile on my desk and on the fridge to use for note paper and shopping lists.
My cousin died in 2021 and I had to clean out his house. He saved EVERYTHING he ever got. Every bill. Every financial statement. Every single page and the envelope. Clearing that all out was a huge job. I knew I had to pay to have everything shredded so I went through it all and separated out the envelopes and inserts that didn't require shredding and just recycled those. Still, I shredded 10 cartons of paper. And I filled the recycling bin multiple times over 6 weeks and dumped some in a friend's bin too a few times. The mountain of paper he had saved - for absolutely no good reason - was ridiculous.
