Fees aren't high right now tho

Just like before its an investment into locking in lower channel opening fees before they go up so the sooner you get into the game the more you will benefit over time especially if you end up becoming a very well connected node.

Any tips from either of y’all on how to decide on a decent starting balance? Or is there maybe a ratio of coin to channels or something? I have no idea how much I should dedicate to it.

You want channels to be as big as possible to capture rebalance fees. Personally I don't like any channels less than 10m sats.

Any channel less than 1m sats is completely useless imo (for a router)

But you have to balance out the risk for yourself, I can't stress enough, it's possible to lose coins.

Yeah most of the LSPs didn’t go below 1M sat channels for awhile you can open a ton of 500k to 1M and work your way up past 10M, better yet become your own LSP or offer your liquidity to others like starting with friends and family Lightning wallets etc. check out deezy.io
