If you use that node only with SN, and open a private channel with SN node, you don't need anything else. But the fun part start when you want to move those sats to another place or start making payments. SN node MUST provide you the right routes, because is the SINGLE LSP for you node.
When you say to have SN be your only channel, you mean not having the initial inbound liquidity channel that you make during the set up process? I'm guessing you can skip that step, but I don't remember.

As @SimpleStacker said in the guide: you do not need that "setup process"... Just open a channel with SN node, move out some sats from that channel and done, you have enough for send/receive. Of course, open a good size of the channel to cover your zaps in a certain period.
You will need an inbound channel from all those listed LSPs in Alby ONLY if you want to receive sats from many other sources, not SN. But that is another story and I explain it in other of my guides.

That makes sense and is probably what was wrong with my setup initially.

I've been working off your guide. You think I should stick with alby, or use a different one?
reply
Alby is enough for using with SN.
