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.

I want to invest, I have a wallet, I wish to the put $500 into it. How many hands do I have to feed to accomplish this? And who/what can be trusted with this transaction?

Why not use testnet first? Blixt has a cool web demo https://blixtwallet.github.io/ You got an android testnet package for blixt too https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.7
Why Not Use Testnet Before You Buy?
1 project | /r/Bitcoin | 7 Jun 2023

There is also a testnet release for blixt on the github: https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases Blixt is of course a lightning wallet. So if you wanted to play with that without using real coins this is how you would do it.

Best open-source non-custodial wallet that supports the lightning network?

Some great lightning wallets you can use
2 projects | /r/Bitcoin | 8 Sep 2021

I don't think it's well known in blogs and non-dev people, but the github repo is pretty popular. It's open source, so you can have a look at the code. It has a lot of state-of-the-art features.
