I'm running my node on VM which is not 24/7 online (during vacation I might close the channels). This is not a problem for my btc full node, but I face a risk of getting force closed, that's why my lnd node is only to experiment and learn and I have only private channels.
Regarding privacy: I'm using a VPN and of course anon email to "register" the WoS for backup purposes. Not perfect but a least the overall privacy is good with WoS + Boltz.
not having node online 24/7 is not necessarily a problem, especially if you buy your channels and do not route (impossible with only private channels anyway). The seller is supposed to keep that channel open during the agreed-upon period, even if you go offline. So the only arguments against this are some inconvenience/extra work and unfamiliarity, and perhaps privacy.
But ok, not throwing any fruit or vegetable, just pointing out there may be better ways, worth of considering at least.
