On a podcast I heard that VLS requires the signer implement a lot of the lightning protocol. Can you elaborate on that? Is that expected to change with time?

We keep track of the Lightning state machine, but we don't need to keep track of the protocol.
As far as state, we keep track of L2 state and L1 state - about 10 pieces of data each.
We don't keep track of things like gossip and we don't need a network stack, so the complexity and attack surface is much smaller than an actual node.
