Yeah, i also tend to disagree that going custodial is an acceptable solution in the mean time. Unless, there is true solution that fully realize the goal of better privacy while mantain the easy experience for end users. If the solution of those premises exist then non-custodial solution will be the winner.
I only limit the sats on custodial wallet for small amount. Bigger stacks always on my own node.
The solution is a tor-only node with private channels that gets nuked and redeployed every year.
Sure the node pubkey is always the same in a short time span, but over time it gets rotated.
Yes, rotating pubkey node is better. I have tried OBW from Fiatjaf have implemented this. Every invoice have different pubkey node. Usually, i made several hops from custodial wallet > OBW > Another Non custodial wallet > My Own Node
