Thanks for sharing this.
This is interesting new information to consider. I have a different angle, for example, in this post. But the point is pretty much the same.

Despite that, I am still optimistic about Lightning. This is why we decided to continue maintaining the Valet, which is the SBW fork.

I feel bad hearing about power outage supply issues in Ukraine, but to be clear, my post is not a critique of Lightning, rather it's more to explain that under my circumstances and many others, it's not worth maintaining a node. I continue to use LN wallets pretty much daily, and intend to do so even more in the future.

my post is not a critique of Lightning
I would rather be critical. Recently, after a while, I resumed working with Core Lightning and noticed nearly the same issues as 2-3 years ago when I decided to try Eclair. I have some bad aftertaste after Eclair, but it is different; I merely tried to build Eclair plugins, and lots of effort has been wasted.

Isn't Phoenix using Eclair? I think it is a powerful software, and if there are bugs, well, you know, you can help solving them.
About CLN, here is the bug that triggered me yesterday: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/7183
