My only disagreement comes from force closures due to issues in lightning implementations not agreeing on a “fair” fee rate. These are expensive bugs whose cost are suffered by the node runners. To near no fault of their own, a massive expense occurs only due to higher fees in the base layer and a difference in how that propagates to the lightning node compared to their peer. The fix, of course, is to improve the implementations and how they come to an agreed upon base chain fee (many smart people are working on this). This clouds whatever benefits having higher fees on the base layer may proved in giving a clearer market of opening and closing channels/node runners tuning their setup with settings.
You mean coop closes?
reply
No, since these are not manual closes but ones that occur due to the nodes thinking the other is lying

Ah, I see. I think that's not an issue with anchor channels anymore, right?

I believe you’re correct, but I’d have to double check
