I am a pharmacist by education, and running my lightning node :)
Just takes a little effort - not really that complicated.

I know. But 99% of people will never do that.

Do the primitives of Lightning even make sense for personal use cases?
Your node can be blacklisted, you have to open and close a channel if you want to make a single one-off payment, etc

Yea - it does. blacklisted by who? All my connections are other plebs - everyday users of the network, no enterprise nodes - except one which I milk for routing sats.
My channels are with everyday users of the network who in aggregate are well-connected and I can reach anyone and so they can.

your model relies on everyone running their own nodes then?
blacklisting would be done by major corporations and institutions.
So if we live in a Distributist society, Lightning would work great
