Regular user? If you mean privacy benefit, BIP 157 & 158 are enough for most users. Example wallet which uses it is Wasabi Wallet.

These BIPs are definitely improves privacy for light nodes, but if user's unencrypted transaction goes through third party full node then I think there is still an issue with privacy.

How else would the full node broadcast user's (who use SPV wallet) transaction? If your concern is user's IP, Tor can solve the problem.
I know not everyone understand or use Tor (if it's not integrated and enabled by wallet), but it's more viable option than running full node.

Ok, you're right, BIP 157 & 158  + Tor can solve the issue.
