I’m still a lightning novice so definitely do your own research but one concern I have about this approach is safety of your stacked sacks on your lightning node. I’ve heard lightning nodes referred to as fundamentally hot wallets because of having private key on the computer or phone. This would put your sats at more risk than if the private key was in a hardware wallet like a coldcard. This may be schemes where you can separate the lightning node from the private key and that would be worth looking into. However, I am concerned that the lightning node couldn’t function automatically without the private key being with the node.
