For zaps it’s okay, but I’ve seen plenty of speculation about using it for General payment handling, which is definitely not a good direction. If we need something for this (we do) we should build something that’s robust and general, not “only works if you don’t care about reliability”.
If you’re using a private relay you might as well just use lnurl/http/onion messages/etc.
