Don't get psyoped into believing that running a Lightning node is hard. It's not.
Most people just wants to sell you something.

Much of the mempool work is rooted in support for Lightning, which is pretty obviously not going to solve the scaling problem.

THE CONSENSUS CONUNDRUM
Bitcoin faces a one-of-a-kind leadership problem
—
A lot of consensus-change proposals for bitcoin are on the table at the moment. All of them have good motivations, whether it's scaling UTXO ownership or making self-custody more…

upgraded to latest release yesterday. noticed today that it was not running any more, due to: ***BROKEN*** [...] onchain channeld died (1).
so i restarted cln. now I have 30 channels suddenly being on-chain, with no explanation. listpeers $id info shows me lots of "log": "Replaying old unprocessed HTLC #2548" and "num_skipped": 1010
latest entry is:
{
"type": "UNUSUAL",
"time": "95.826793658",
"node_id": "0364913d18a19c671bb36dd04d6ad5be0fe8f2894314c36a9db3f03c2d414907e1",
"source": "chan#24333",
"log": "Peer permanent failure in ONCHAIN: Funding transaction spent (reason=unknown)"
},
{
"type": "SKIPPED",
"num_skipped": 61985
}
what's going on here?

BITCOIN CORE'S LOSS OF FOCUS
The legacy technical leadership in bitcoin is becoming increasingly less effective.
--
Almost universally, Core and "graybeard" devs are not focusing on _the_ fundamental problem in bitcoin: preserving trustless UTXO ownership.…

Lightning has not solved our problems, and given the on-chain footprint that existing channel constructions require, it categorically cannot. Lightning certainly helps reduce on-chain payment volume once someone has opened a channel - but to do that for most people will require a layer 1 innovation.
