I was thinking more along the lines of running a second node with no announced (public) channels but I could do that on a separate VM/box. No need to complicate and possibly cause issues with my routing node.
You can run Blixt on mobile with a private (even better as zero-conf) channel to your node.

I like Blixt but I don't like turning a phone into a critical piece of infra. To my knowledge you can't move Blixt nodes to a new device. I prefer to treat phones as disposable. Its a nice option if you don't have computer hardware but I think if you do it would be better to run a second node on a computer.

Zero conf channels.. Essentially disposable channels. Actual sats are on your node, so the mobile can spend/receive without having to worry about the phone. If the phone is lost/compromised, you just kill the channel from your node. I know @DarthCoin has Blixt guides, but not sure if it goes into private/trusted zero conf channels.

Yes I wrote a guide about that scenario here and indeed I didn't talk too much about 0-conf channels, just briefly mention them. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/dunder-lsp-and-lightning-box-provider and here https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/bitcoin-private-banks-over-lightning
But I don't know what OP want to do, so not sure if these scenarios are good for him.

You must make the difference between public and private nodes ! Blixt, Zeus, Breez, Electrum, Phoenix, Mutiny are built-in PRIVATE nodes. In a small shop like a grocery maybe you can use them to take payments but NOT for other stuff, like routing.
Again, depends on what do you want to achieve use one or another.
