I run LN nodes from 2019... various. I know what am I talking about. What is happening right now is really strange.
I ran a node long time ago, All i can say, is that running your own linux box gives you better understanding of what is going on. I tried umbrel and for me wasn't a good experience. Maybe try to build a new clean LND node and import your seeds and channels there, and see how it goes.
Sorry for be mean on the first comment.

No need to sorry man, I am not a snowflake :) Is not about mainly Umbrel. Umbrel is just a dumb webUI, all inside is a LND node. I run also a CLN node but that is another story.

have 12 stable channels here. cheap, fibre uplink, 24/7. last closed 2 months ago and before 4 months ago. rewards low but still routing.

12 channels are nothing. Running a node with only 12 announced channels will do almost nothing. Better run with un-announced (private) channels.
I run in parallel a CLN node with mostly private channels. Just for doing my private stuff. Works perfect.
I am talking here to build with LND a routing node, that is totally different than many people understand what is a LN node.
