Advice on channels to open if you don't need to buy anything, at least right now?
I struggle with this part of it. Your advice makes sense, but since there's nothing that I can think of to buy via LN, it's never been clear to me what would be sensible channels to open in order to give myself future optionality like you and Siggy are describing.
If you do not plan to spend a large amount of sats over LN, then I think accumulating few sats over LN from SN, nostr and other sources, will be OK to use any custodial LN wallets that will not bother you with channels management.
I wrote this guide for example, describing how to do it:
https://darth-coin.github.io/beginner/getting-started-stack-sats-en.html
Basically you just accumulate few sats, little by little and once the amount is considered enough to be converted into a good UTXO, just swap it out into your onchain cache or cold wallets.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG using custodial non-KYC accounts for that. The amounts will not be anyways so significant to affect your finances and also you are not touching your cold stash.
Keep it simple guys!
