can you please expand on this point? what do you mean, it sound like you use some combo of your own node (at home not the one in phone) and the Zeus one (in the phone)
Your Zeus node is behind Olympus LSP. All payments received will use route hints that will see as last hop the Olympus pubkey (not your private Zeus node).
You can still open channels with any other publuc node if you want.
There is an option in Zeus to hide/show the route hints.
Will be interesting to see in the future an option to request an invoice with MPP by default.

Ah I see. I think?
So what your saying is: have your own private lightning node with one set of channels for one set of payments.
Then have your Zeus node for another set of payments where you don't care when public key is revealed, because its not yours.
I was thinking for a moment it meant, connect the two nodes somehow by opening channel to Zeus or something.

I would recommend also to open various private channels with your new Zeus node.
Apart from Olympus by Zeus (by default LSP) you could open 2-3 more other channels with good nodes (see here some recomendations) and activate MPP in your Zeus.
That means all your payments will go through all channels available, spreading the amount in smaller parts and taking various routes.
This technique will not only help you find better routes and cheaper, but also keeping a good balance into your channels and improve your privacy.
