I still plan to make a very efficient personal relay with simple install (just a binary, might want a storage directory somewhere, will come with a systemd unit file), simple setup (just your pubkey really) and configuration (if you want to configure it, you don't have to). Default rules will be: Incoming events that tag or mention you are allowed. Outgoing events that are authored by you are allowed. Kind 10002 is allowed in and out. Everything else is blocked. There are no accounts, no payments required, and no moderation required (since outbound events are just your own). AUTH will allow only you to read events mentioning you. Spam filtering will have to be handled eventually either on this relay or in your client. It really should be very simple to implement, but I was making it hard by trying to be super optimal...and of course I've still been busy with so many other things. But time is opening up for me.
