 Are there any privacy benefits if you run your own mint assuming you are the only one using it? 
 no - best is pay custodian fee move big amount to safe wallets 
 In before they call cashu a mixing service 
 nostr also same  
 So essentially you could push your whole kyc stack through this and it would be private afterward if you sent it to a new BTC wallet? 
 And do what exactly? Do you know what chainanalysis is capable of? The IRS is going to wreck you if you use bitcoin unless you use it their way, which excludes privacy tools like this.

No tools can make Bitcoin private, unless it hardforks, it's a transparent public blockchain. You can get some some psuedonymity via coinjoins, but all your transactions are still 100% visible.

A good analogy for mixing services is walking around naked, but you have a bag over your head...no one knows who you are, but you're still naked and vulnerable 
 I wouldn't do that. Neither i worry about KYC stack.
