Have you tried Breez [1] on ios or phoenix [2] on android? Non custodial mobile lightning wallets have come a long way.

Lightning still has some rough edges (async payments) and unsolved issues (spam resistance) but it’s a lot closer to being a convincing private scalable p2p payment network than many realise.

I used LN many times, it works very nice for small payments ... maybe we need another layer 2 network for medium sized payments $100-$10000?
