Node runners. Mostly custodians would bother. Consensus would be left to these “banks.”

Yeah. And if the entire point of the blocksize wars was to ensure the 'little people' keep running nodes..... houston we have a problem again.

It's not a 'now' problem depending on how you look at it.
If you think custody is too hard and can be made easier through scaling, I'd argue it's a now problem. But if the concern is blockspace being super competitive, then we aren't there yet.
