3 relays should be all you need. Anything more is dumb and only there because everything fails all the time. Anything more than 3 the data plan use is extremely wasteful, with duplicated data being downloaded and processed everywhere. It's a huge battery drain.

Regarding the waste and inefficiency, that's a valid concern. I imagine that's a problem that could be solved though by being smart about what you ask for from relays.

No smartness can compensate missing events that are supposed to be there.

Missing data shouldn't be consuming huge amounts of your data plan though, which I though was the issue.

Filter requests are massive. And there is always some data. You just don't know how much has been deleted.
