No, the small lighting transactions are not actually ''real'' lightning transactions, but besides that it will always boil down to your ability to close a channel; which is an onchain transaction. Lightning does not reduce that threshold of onchain fee's, but it allows you to distribute those costs over many interactions.
Note, i use lighting (and for small tx's), all the time, to get a shorttime vpn or silly AI pictures.
