Sounds complicated

Then use Monero, it's private by default both on-chain and network level. If you're adverse to Monero due to dogma, then you gotta learn Bitcoin privacy or you have no privacy. Don't deny reality because it's inconvenient.

Coinjoins help obfuscate but don't offer as strong privacy as Monero. Amounts and addresses are still visible to surveil from that point on indefinitely. Your coinjoin peers making mistakes over time diminshes your own obfuscation and you can't control that. It's also such a tiny fraction of users that coinjoin in the first place that you also stick out. Lightning theoretically offers another level up for privacy over coinjoins, but in practice it's complexity pushes the vast majority of users to Strike, Wallet of Satoshi, etc where they have zero privacy from custodians. Ends up being a big potential honeypot.
