I don’t believe that Cashu should or can replace non-custodial Lightning at all. There are use cases in which Lightning just doesn’t work, Cashu can fill these gaps.
Comparing this to shitcoins is ridiculous though.

i don’t see why its ridiculous. If it works on cashu but there is no liquidity from the cashu node to anywhere else on lightning, this is no different than a shitcoin. Its worse then a shitcoin, its just a token you can’t use for anything.
Without the promise of eventually getting bitcoin out of the node via lightning, it’s just a valueless entry in a database.
Cashu is nice, but it needs the underlying fulfilling layer.
So OPs expectation creates paper bitcoin, that you trust you can redeem later, because now you may not have liquidity for that.
