It might be a nightmare if latency is the most important part of securing the network by making sure the validation nodes are in extremely fast consensus with each other?
Don't really know what I'm talking about but trying to see things from different angles.

It's not crucial for the bitcoin network since blocks are ~10 mins apart. Also, home nodes are probably low on incoming nodes (the other nodes to which you will relay new blocks/transactions). The nodes that do most of the work are public nodes in cloud environments with good connections and hardware.

Slow private networks are still valuable for many people, because the decentralized other parts of lightning can be fast and surveilable.
