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.

Reading about people switching to Treznor, but why is that any more secure—seems like malicious firmware can reveal private key on any hardware device?
I’m checking out Specter Desktop in my Raspiblitz Lightning node for BTC. The node runs Core as well, but the UI is much nicer in Specter, which is for Multi Sig transactions using any hardware wallet. Doesn’t help with any other coin, though. First Pi project ever, and it’s for science… BTC isn’t my favorite crypto, but it deserves respect. I need to see for myself the scaling possibilities of Lightning first hand. You earn small fees for routing so it should at least break even on power. https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz
