Silent Payments doesn't work with light clients such as mobile wallets. It needs full block data. The theory behind the standard is sound but in practice you need to support light clients or you won't find adoption.
BIP351 elegantly solved that problem by outsourcing notification scanning. Worst case scenario (you don't trust anyone), you run your own notification scanner. Most people will trust a few high profile notification repos or the one run by their mobile wallet vendor.
