How to run your own Bitcoin Lightning node without a permanent home?
It’s worth being cautious when setting up the ‘home’ side of things, too, to make sure you don’t leak your home IP by making DNS requests from the pi instead of via the VPS. This is a great guide I followed to set up my VPS tunnel: https://github.com/TrezorHannes/Dual-LND-Wireguard-VPS

is running a node on open IPv4/ipv6 bad?
It’s bad from a privacy standpoint because it exposes your home IP address. One workaround would be running your node entirely on a VPS which could get expensive given the storage requirements for the blockchain. Or you could get a small/cheap VPS to forward requests to your node at home via a wireguard tunnel, thereby obscuring your personal IP. This is a great guide for how to do that.

I'm massively impressed, but have one remaining problem
Yes, Tor is unreliable and a pain.. You could run a dual Tor-clearnet/VPS node, e.g. this guide orthis one or TunnelSats for a paid service that automates the installation. Allows to use clearnet but still preserve your privacy by not exposing your home IP. The downside is the monthly fee to pay for the VPS.
