Oh right, I overlooked that you need BOLT12 support. LND does not have support for that yet. With Core Lightning however you could still use a pruned Bitcoin node or (although not recommended) you could use [trustedcoin](https://github.com/nbd-wtf/trustedcoin) to immediately grant your Lightning node onchain access through public blockchain explorers.

I'm currently running a Lightning node with channels open that I need to keep open until late May.

My understanding was that I could use Core LN and get Bolt12 Offer support...but I'm not crazy about spinning up another node in addition to the one I already have, deploying more capital, connecting to more channels. 

But my understanding of my suggestion could be incorrect, so could my limitations... :)

You do not necessarily have to run your own full node to run a Lightning node. LND configured with 

 will fetch onchain data from other Bitcoin nodes via compact filters.

BOLT12 Suggestions?

You do not necessarily have to run your own full node to run a Lightning node. LND configured with `bitcoin.node=neutrino` will fetch onchain data from other Bitcoin nodes via compact filters.
