If you cannot withdraw your funds on-chain because the fees are too high relative to the number of sats you own, are you really fully self-sovereign? No scaling solution can get around this limitation.

it thats kept only for emergencies (enforce uncooperative coordinator) the fee you'd be willing to risk out of your total capital is much higher
if you lose half your stack touching chain you might be self-sovereign, but it would be poor capital allocation
there's a lot of legroom between here and there. many millions of productive people will still be able to afford the fee for a judgement txn if needed
I agree. I’m only saying that the highest form of self-sovereignty will be limited to millions, not billions, of people as far as I can tell. But I also realize that billions of people currently have zero financial sovereignty so even partial trade-offs will be a massive win for them.
