Newcommer: I'd just like to make sure I got this right...
There seems to be a Rust implementation of the server (electrs via https://github.com/romanz/electrs ). It was recommended as part of a Medium article on how to set up an Electrum server. So far it seems fine - but, what are your inputs on it?

Can't get addresses to load in mempool
romanz/electrs. This is a common choice for its low resource requirements, and most full-node distros use it. But while this implementation works great for basic queries, it will struggle with heavier ones (e.g. looking up addresses with many transactions)—especially when running on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Wasabi vs Electrum
To gain some privacy by using Electrum you should set up Tor on Network preferences or by installing your own Electrum server via Electrum Personal Server, ElectrumX or Electrs.

Question regarding setting up electrum hardware wallet.
Electrum can be connected to you full node if you also run this: https://github.com/romanz/electrs

Full node still impossible ? Umbrel ? Mynode ?
Electrs: https://github.com/romanz/electrs (Instead of electrs you can also use "Electrum personal server" to connect Bitcoin core to Electrum).

⚡ Raspibolt Monthly Rundown 🌕 May 16th, 2022 - Guide & software updates, new Github pull requests & issues and other news
LND v0.14.3 - Release page - Upgrade guide This release contains only a series of bug fixes, and doesn't introduce any backwards compatible changes (database migrations, etc) from the prior version. Notable fixes in this release include: a fix to an invoice registry related deadlock, a fix for an edge case when running the remote signer operating mode, and a fix to ensure that 3rd parties sweeping an anchor UTXO doesn't lead to the wallet having a fragmented internal UTXO state, and a fix for a payment state inconsistency (a payment looks like it was stuck though no HTLCs exist).Full release notes.

Newbie Question - Wallets
Okay if custody of your own coins is priority for you, and you don't want to run a node straight away, I guess my recommendation is Zap Desktop. You can also get it from its github page. Basically it's running an lnd node in the background, but it presents a nice GUI as a front end.

ZAP Windows Desktop Wallet, error msg, invalid date for on-chain transactions and can not open LN channels.

My reply to people who tell me to “just use lightning”
There are various wallets for the desktop, but I never used one. I think Electrum has Lightning intergration, there is also Zap (https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop) I use a https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz with Zap mobile wallet connecting to the node for payments (there is an app and desktop version).

money stuck in Zap?
I would recommend opening an issue in their GitHub repository https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop/issues.
