Let me just mention that [1] I have been working on a plugin that allows experimentation with different types of Bitcoin Core node alternatives (including core too), and it also supports BIP 157 with nakamoto [2]. In the upcoming months, I plan to allocate some time to work directly on Nakamoto. > There’s probably a real opportunity to “comingle” the peering of LN gossip > + block data networks, this has been suggested a few times but never > seriously pursued from the LN side.

This logic is critical for Lightning nodes, so if we don't have a uniform way of estimating fees, it could lead to several issues. P.S: The fee estimation problem may have already been solved by Neutrino, but I'm not aware of it. [1] https://github.com/coffee-tools/folgore [2] https://github.com/cloudhead/nakamoto Cheers!
