If any less, then I would recommend Phoenix Wallet (https://phoenix.acinq.co/) since spending that tip will be cheaper for you.
Is the only way to achieve non-custodial lightning wallet, letting user connect to his own lnd?

That comment is incorrect too from a few angles. Both Breez and Phoenix's code is entirely verifiable on their GitHubs (Pheonix Breez). If you're truly concerned about them changing the code in an update you can verify and build the app yourself locally and install it on your phone.

If $100 or more, there are some good suggestions like BlueWallet (https://bluewallet.io/).
Is bluewallet the way to go here?

Exactly this. Blockstream Jade hardware wallet used with Sparrow wallet on a laptop with linux, to make transactions. Then Bluewallet for a watch-only wallet on your phone device.
Why is it so difficult to pair Jade to the Green app?

I also use my blockstream jade airgapped with sparrow wallet on a linux laptop which I have been extremely happy with. You can also use BlueWallet for phone.
