Well, hard to say. I would say certainly more laid back into hammock maintenance possible, but some runners might take the extra mile to make the extra buck. It probably depends on
  • your motivation + time-available
  • your curiosity and desire for tinkering
If both of the above is not a personal preference, todays tools like Autofees and Auto-Rebalancer in LNDg offer a hands-off "hammock" approach.
Certainly less fire-drilling compared to 2-4 years ago. Totally concur on your love for LNDg. I'm a big fan and also contributing to their code wherever I feel I can add value.
