Lightning payments for my business
Usually lightning payments don't require the use of debit/credit cards. There is a new protocol called boltcard that allows you to make lightning payments with a prepaid NFC card (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard). This is very cool but it's in its early stages of adoption.
- I created a Lightning Network Boltcard (NFC payments) template - feel free to use for your own boltcards

Binance Acquires FTX
- Travel, I book hotels/flight with it and once I rented a boat for a family trip
In addition to that I now and then try to pay with Bitcoins at other stores. Last time got excited about boltcards (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard) there are few places in my country which accept it, but it is quite a new thing.

Could BTC ever have a traditional banking "feel"?
Just get a Bolt Card, and set it up with your own node server, it's open source. You can then just tap with your card in any merchant with NFC, for example BTCPayServer.

If I connect a personal wallet to my Bitcoin Lightning node, do I have to open a channel?
If you want multiple users, you'll need multiple node instances. LNbits (mentioned by /u/sos755) does not implement this. Rather, it simply abstracts the funds associated with a single node into multiple logical accounts. This means that the node administrator still has underlying control of all funds associated with the node. See this GitHub discussion for a bit more info: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/2652

I have a dedicated LN seed phrase on a metal seed storage and would like to import it into an LN wallet + would like to have a basic backup of LN data on an encrypted cloud = Which wallet can handle this? Any advice? Note: I don’t want to run an LN node right now.
LND doesn’t use BIP39 mnemonics. https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md

Advice/suggestions on running a BTC node (w/ lnd) on a Mac Mini 2018
Both Bitcoin Core and LND have binaries available for macOS, for example. I have not seen an actual guide to set everything up on macOS tho. It's quite similar to Linux honestly.

How do you default LND to use Taproot and enable RBF (for on-chain transactions)?
As for taproot change addresses, this has been the default behaviour since version 0.15.5. Just update your lnd and you're all set.
