This seems useful for small merchants wanting to accept LN payments but not yet ready to host and run their own node. Proposed as potential addition for SatSale (lightweight self hosted Bitcoin payment processor) - https://github.com/SatSale/SatSale/issues/101.

If you are able to run Python process on a server, check out SatSale. You can run it with full Bitcoin and Lightning Network node, but it also has "xpub mode", where you just configure extended public key (xpub) of your, for example, mobile phone wallet (like BlueWallet or Blockstream Green), and it uses mempool.space to check for payments. So, even if not backend by a full node, at least it's non-custodial solution. https://github.com/SatSale/SatSale

Additionally I use rebalance-lnd to rebalance channels manually. BOS can also rebalance as well as perfectly balanced.

Are you using channel rebalancing tools at all? Like Balance of Satoshis, or rebalance-lnd? I really like the latter.
Automate balancing with tools, is there good recent tutorial [end of 2022]?

There are some tools like this but it is very hard to automate rebalancing since each node market dynamics is different. And it changes constantly. You can automate but you have to constantly update the logic.
