Yes, I do not use any external sats/wallets with SN.
I explained why in a post when was introduced this concept of "link your external wallet to SN". Is more about the friction is creating, not about the custody or not.
For me personally a 100k sats limit in SN account is just fine. I usually zap back quite a lot (but wisely) or use the sats paying to onboard more people into BTC. Yes, I pay from SN account LN invoices to people that I consider they worth onboarding.
Also SN is good to "coinjoin" your sats if you know how to do it. A perfect decoy that many people under estimate it.
About the NWC privacy details, I really do not know so much technicalities to answer that. I will let other experts to answer. What I know is that I do not like to use personal LN nodes in public places, whatever link would have. You see people took this "self-custody" mania to other limits but forgor one simple thing: the best way to hide is not on the top of the mountain, but among many many many other pseudonyms that cannot be distinguished... which one is which.
Yes, self-custody is a MUST for Bitcoin, but with your hold stash, not with regular spending. Especially with SN case, where you zap and be zapped every fucking minute. That will be a huge exposure of your private node...
People will remember my words... when the time will come.

Ok we are getting there! NWC and private node... does it make sense?

Keep in mind that even that is private, having so many back and forth payments, especially through few LSP, it could also trigger some "patterns". Not all LSP or routing nodes are "good guys".... choose wisely and learn better how to use LN with public and private nodes.
LOL maybe I should write a detailed guide about this. I wrote some in the past, but I do not like to give too many details in public about these aspects. I just want to show people the path. People still underestimate the power of LN... You have so many options and tools nowadays. Just using a single damn LN wallet is stupid.

Gotcha, the nostr relay works as LSP and keep the transactions records.
Now I see why cowboy credits are valuable 🤣

We all know that Car is a CIA agent, k00b is NSA guy and ek is BND...
So... opening a LN channel directly to SN node, with your private node and using it back and forth for zapping posts on SN, is not making that a public information?
Instead... use decoy custodial (disposable) wallets to deposit or withdraw from SN (if is necessary) and you will not link your private nodes with that...
just saying, mastering lightning is not easy, but when you know how to do it, is really powerful.
