 Lightning Network ⚡ really proved its usefulness during high fee environment.  I tested and both custodial solutions like Primal, WoS and self-custody like Phoenix worked smoothly.

Obviously it was not a good time to open or close channels.

High fees provide the incentive to continue to innovate and scale. LN ⚡ can probably take us to the next billion users, but beyond that we are going to need even more scaling solutions.

For 8 billion people to use Bitcoin we are going to need a LOT more. 
 Fedimint will be enough for the planet. Tons of small, unregulated federations < 1000 users will be reasonable secure and way more distributed than the current banking system. 

Normal users just want do download an app and start transacting, and this is a great solution without capturing them in a single regulated custodian. 
 Thanks.

I'm going to have to study Fedimint  (https://fedimint.org/) and Cashu (https://wallet.cashu.me/).
