>no route found

Is mostly because your Zeus is not synced. Zeus is using Neutrino to sync the blocks and that is quite different than Phoenix that is using electrum SPV.

Please read carefully the Zeus FAQ, it is described there your situation
https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/faq
Here I explained in more details about Zeus and neutrino peers

I also use Zeus, Breez, and Strike. However, with Zeus and Breez, I mostly encounter "no route found" errors, which I believe is because they don't have many channels open(when compare to Acinq's). Acinq has a lot more channels, so I think the Phoenix Wallet might be a better option.
