The problem with NIP-29 is that we're setting up users to get themselves into trouble.

Yes, most group don't need proper encrypted comms. But, for the ones that do, they REALLY do.

This sort of UX makes a user think that the group they're creating is actually private and actually secure, which it's not. Relays still have FULL visibility into what's going on in groups.

I don’t agree with that. Nip-29 can be super useful for public groups. But it’s shit for private groups.

Yeah I just don’t see much point in public groups.

Feels like a reach… too much complexity

You can only use 1 relay only the owner of the relay can see it's contents. It's great privacy imo, if I want a private group I run it on my relay.

Right. If you want to uncle Jim things and everyone in the group is happy to trust you then all good.
