 I don't think so. I have getalby ln address without the cloud subscription, and you can have alby hub self hosted btw. 
 I guess I'm wondering how long my account can stay dormant before it and my LN address are deleted. I may opt for a self-hosted option within the next 30-60days, so I'm hoping my account won't be nuked right away.  
 Good question, If your ln address is not linked to any wallet for a long time. I don't think they can give it to someone else, but I don't know 100%. Anyway you can link it to another wallet that a trustworthy person provide it for you (this is custodial, caution) for a while, and then unlink it, and link it to your own DIY alby hub backed by your node.
