On a mobile device you should have only enough for your daily spending (over LN).
So the answer is NO, you should not have a hot onchain wallet in your mobile device, except for opening/closing LN channels.
As a general rule I always recommend the method of 3 levels stash:
- HODL - only in cold wallets, long term holding, even in this level use multiple walelts, not just single one.
- CACHE - medium amounts, in desktop wallets, nodes, intermediary wallets, to make coin control and good management of funds IN/OUT, swaps etc, multiple wallets too
- SPEND - small amounts in LN wallets, multiple wallets too.
Well explained in this guide:

Loses $50 of spending money

More concerned with losing my phone than my sats in my lightning wallet.
