This video is more or less a diff between what lightning is ideally and what it is today.
- nodes need to be online, so UX sucks on mobile-like devices
- watchtowers don't "watch" HTLCs for privacy reasons
- dispute txs are subject to mempool pinning attacks
- payment routing is hard mostly because channel balances are unknown and vary
- it's pretty nuanced, but lightning isn't very private in many dimensions
- channel jamming is a thing
Yeah I think that pretty much covers it. Coupled with "and don't really trust just anyone to be your counterparty here"
