more reliability = more routing
Is not that you are on a public IP or not.
Using Tor will be perfectly fine if the Tor network will be faster. But it doesn't.
Tor for LN is a bottleneck.

would that mean that a tor node that is also on has a public ip could route more?

Pure‑Tor nodes form a sort of “closed subnet” within Lightning: they can only peer with other Tor‑enabled nodes.

Nope. Pure-Tor nodes can connect to clearnet nodes. It's only pure-clearnet nodes that can't connect to Tor nodes.

Why bitcoiners are so "in love" using Tor for their BTC LN nodes?
