Best to be prepared for high fees by having a few LN channels & a small amount of liquid (to refill LN channels). If you don't want to run a LN node some mobile LN wallets like electrum, Phoenix or blixt have worked well for me.

I'd personally wait for the fees to come down a bit to open LN channels. Fee's usually come in waves so I think they'll eventually come down a bit in the next few weeks or months.
