I don't intend on routing public tx when I move to mainnet though, I planned on routing through TOR with a private address. So, my use-case might not be the best because if everyone did it this way, it would defeat the purpose of LN.

The thing is that even when i'm not an expert in the subject, Tor could solve many security issues and not only DDoS. It's a somewhat simple solution for what could potentially be bigger problems specially today when DDoSing or hacking security systems is becoming increasingly easy.

The point of view of the administration to improve security couldn't come in a better time.

if only everyone ran a TOR Relay and an LN Node ... imagine the private, trustless, open utopia we could live in.

Speaking also from a non-technical opinion, in fact, seems to me that if enough people ran both, I imagine we wouldn't even need to run them 24/7, even just switching them on during our working hours might be enough to keep the whole thing afloat, as long as there were enough nodes and relays to take over seamlessly. The way it is now, though, it's not exactly private (if, for example, after a couple of hours of sessions I can already recognise relays) and not exactly trustless if we have to rely on the same few nodes.
