Nice concept. I don't like storing the wallet on the server tho. Also in some ways wouldn't this reduce anonymity? Transactions correlate wallets with a certain IP address every time...

It's called "server" only because it implements the Electrum server protocol. In practice you'd run it on your own hardware, generally in the same place where your full node runs so the anonymity would not be harmed in this respect.

OK, but then you're back to leaking your IP address again.

I don't see how. If you connect to something on localhost you don't leak the IP of your Electrum wallet.

But the IP of the "private server" is the same as the IP of the wallet if you're connecting to localhost?!

Yes, but the electrum personal server is connected to a full node so you get the same privacy as if you were using Bitcoin-Qt. Bitcoin-Qt can have very strong privacy properties in terms of IP addresses.
