How's lightning on pruned nodes? I saw sometime ago it's a no go and I've never bothered to check again
Discussion
I have no experience there.
You can run lightning with 40gb of pruning, but if you ever need to rescan the wallet, your node could be down for days, which could lead to force closures. If you just use the node for small amounts of sending/receiving and only a few channels, I think it's mostly fine
