It requires complete trust in you (or any mint/node operator) that you won't rug the funds, not just "some level" of trust. Like is said, I like cashu for what it is, but I don't think enough people understand the rug risk. And I think the hypocrisy of some people touting cashu as a great option while demonizing custodial lightning is hilarious and only shows their ignorance.
Demonizing Lightning and touring Cashu is idiotic.
Without lightning, Cashu wouldn't work.

The issue is that cashu is so easy, and newbies walk in asking for help. You know they are going to use a custodial service one way or another. You can 'tell' them to run their own node but i highly doubt they are going to do it on average.
