I wrote several guides about LN and how to use it in many different ways, based on my own tests and experience accumulated all these 10+ years using BTC and 3 years in LN:
- Lightning cleaning machine
- Node liquidity guide - how to use 3 nodes in a private mode
- LN Submarine swaps
- Bitcoin and privacy
- Be your own ban - think like a bank
Thanks!
Seems to echo my sentiments around having a private node/non-custodial wallet with an unannounced channel from your public node for better receive privacy (though no reason to do this for spending, AFAICT).

Yes, I found this method as a nice way to play around. You can do it even with a "public" node and Blixt mobile node (as private) for example. Depends on how deep you want to go. A 3rd node (private) also can be used when you have a business for example, you can use it behind that "public shop" node.
If you want to have good routing you have to have at least one good node in "public" mode. And to that connect many other "private" ones.
There are many ways to play around.

These setups with multiple nodes can be deployed/mamaged using a new Lightning implementaiton called Sensei.

Ooooh, this looks like it might be perfect! Thanks so much for sharing, will dig into this ASAP.

I took a look at the docs, but it wasn't clear to me why Sensei would be better than other implementations for spinning up multiple nodes?
