I think that maxuploadtarget is a much more useful setting if you're trying to run a node than any filter or otherwise will help, unless you're actually running a watchtower. In that case, you want to disable all filters and know everything, and peer with as a diverse set of other nodes, so that you see ALL, and you won't get rugged by an asshole LN channel partner or other L2 solution where you need to know everything in mempool you can know.
