The balance is the key. That fact that you already have 1BTC liquidity, is quite big.
For a routing node the important key is to offer same liquidity in both sides, incoming and outgoing. Is not necessary to be on each channel, but in total.
With a larger routing node I would look more into bridging the gaps to routes that are less covered. That is your "income".
For example:
- you can became a LSP for private node operators
- you can became a swap provider
It's fine to have more inbound liquidity than outbound. That means other people have deployed their capital inefficiently. Their problem, not yours.
