Agree, the list goes on and on... -relies on large centralizing middlemen nodes for succesful routing and cheapest fees -need capacity to recieve to begin with as you said -limited in the amount you can send -can't transact without both parties being online at the time of transaction -can be rugged if your node is offline -bad receiver privacy, IP is exposed by default, and hidden balances can be discovered by a passive adversary -can be force closed onto the base chain against your will -ability to grief honest users with zero cost -worst of all it isn't a real solution for scaling for all the downsides you take on Another big thing that recently came to light. Critical security issues discovered that are unresolvable without base layer changes (we both know how nearly impossible that would be) lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2023-October/004154.html
