I think there are over 24 exchanges that offer LN but very few are as large as Kraken I think only Bitfinex would be close, the rest are either regional or bitcoin only and since it encourages withdrawing liqudity and you making less fees shitcoin casinos don't seem keen to use it
Personally, I think wallets are still lacking, I've used Muun, Breez and they were a bit clunky and crashed a few times, yet to try out the others. I think that wallets are fundamental for adoption but also things like P2P markets, where wallets can connect to so you can find liquidity easier and reduce centralisation and improve privacy
I think professional node operators are going to grow in importance as more people are onboarded and the base chain can't take more load and we have to run things like channel factories, as for % I can't image what the split will be like

Yeah there are many exchanges, I was only able to find nodes matching up with 13 of them so far. If you know of other nodes connected to exchanges, let me know!
Bitfinex is definitely the largest exchange on Lightning by public capacity, with almost 700 BTC. River is second with 100 BTC, but Kraken is quickly approaching with 90 BTC amassed in just the last 25 days.
