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: https://darth-coin.github.io/beginner/be-your-own-bank-en.html

Loses $50 of spending money

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

Well, if someone who is knowledgeable picks up the phone, you can have a very bad day.

I mean, a lot of backing up and changing my 2fa and all my passwords sure, but when it comes to losing money, the money on my phone is less of a concern than cost of a new phone.

I will listen to it when l am not near anyone. Cant really trust anyone now days. Could be him shouting obscenities. Whats wrong with believing in security? Just because you have gotten lax in order to use it doesnt mean we all have to follow you.
