I don't think fees this high will be sustainable for too much longer, even there is no block subsidy right now... ha-ha-ha

I'm just saying I think the ordinals/BRC token stuff will die down in the next few weeks or months. Then is the time to get your lightning node in order. Open channel's when you think fees are reasonable. 

If fees don't go down & you can't afford to open channel's, custodial lightning or fedi mints might be your best option

You are probably right, however, if you think about the future, the traffic on onchain will be even higher and you add to it an increase in BTC price and your fees are off the charts.

Should LN channel open/close transactions be treated differently?

I don't think fees this high will be sustainable for too much longer. So we should get more chances to open channel's when they go back down.

This is taste of the future. Hopefully more bitcoiners will be setting up a solid lightning node & keep it running.
