After reading a couple of guides on the mater, I'm going to config my Umbrel node to run in so called hybrid mode (connection over Tor and clearnet). To anyone doing the same, do you have a fixed IP? Without one would I have problems when my IP changes (every once in a month or so on my fiber connection)?

Consider using tailscale to reach your lnd node without Tor. You will not have to deal with a dynamic IP, and you won't have to expose your lnd to clear net.
That said, I am using zerotier for that purpose, because I can switch to self hosting later (tailscale can't be self hosted but there's a clone called headscale that can). I have VPN on 100% of the time on my phone, and annoyingly, you can't stack vpn services on Android. So I have a zero tier node whose outbound is through a VPN and acts as a gateway for my phone.
I'm still fiddling with it but will make a readme when I have all the steps documented.

If you're running lnd, you can configure a domain for resolving your dynamic IP: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/sample-lnd.conf#L67
