Isn't Zeus pretty straightforward to configure? I have a channel in testnet, and I didn't have any issues.

Zeus is great, but there's no way I can recommend it for onboarding. Firstly, the transparency of channel management is great for someone who understands it, but you quickly start tossing a word salad trying to explain it to someone who's never even held their own bitcoin. Secondly, the leasing model assumes you've already convinced someone to use the wallet for months to a year, and that conflicts with convincing someone that this is some no-commitment harmless little demo. Thirdly, while I appreciate the exhaustive feature set and pace of delivery, it's unstable and requires you to open the swiss army knife of settings/tools to wrestle it into usability, from having to manually push ecash index counters to widening derivation path index gaps or straight up abandoning the wallet for manual Sparrow UTXO rescue in a recovery scenario.
