Truly hypothetical at that point:
If LN would not exist as of today, would you consider building something like Lightning on top of BitVM implementations?
If so, which benefits could this bring?
In my mind this depends on whatever this BitVM implementations would do. Are there viable models in your mind?

What excites me is using BitVM to build trust-minimized bridges to sidechains or zkCSV protocols like zkCoins, because that allows us to scale BTC payments

Could these sidechains interact in between each other or only via the mainchain then?
How trust minimised would it possibly be?

Presumably yes. At the very least Lightning being used over multiple BitVM sidechains (all using BTC as the unit) should work.
