Should I Connect My Hardware Wallet To My Full Node?

I always say: a HW its primary objective is to stay hidden.
1. You set it up first time
2. Save the xpub
3. Hide it in a safe place
4. Import the xpub into a watch only app and only use it to deposit new UTXOs
5. Connect that HW to a node only in EXTREME cases when you really need to move funds.
