I have a 1TB disc flying around that probably is almost too small to run a full node

If it is on Umbrel or Start9 using LND, yes it can work on a pruned node. If you are self hosting in a docker or a desktop or a raspy, it will be based on ldk so no disk is needed actually.

(*) to clarify, you do need space, just not 1 TB.
Minimum Requirements mounting a docker image of Alby Hub:
Memory: 512MB (1GB recommended)
Storage: 1GB+

Wait, what? Okay, I am surprised, why would I not need some data at least from the bitcoin chain? Is it still trustless? Maybe ldk is just storing the UTXOs?
There are other options as well. You can run Alby Hub on a desktop, a server, or a microcomputer, you can go into "Advanced Options" during the setup, and choose another node backend like LND
