When you notice it's not worth the effort running a routing node, it makes more sense to just run a private node only for yourself (or maybe family and friends).
I actually thought about first starting with a private node and then later with more knowledge decide about running a routing node.

That is the feedback, I've been getting as well. Wouldn't this, however, show that there is a problem somewhere when running a node is not worth the effort?

You are still running a node. You just don't participate in routing.
I would see it like not everyone has what it takes to be a miner, but running a full node is easy.
But good question. Maybe someone who has thought more about this can chime in.
