Today, I start up
Tails OS (which connects through Tor), import the 0.008 BTC chip into Electrum, and spend the coins. I make sure to spend the full amount, without creating a change address.
For the level of technical expertise that I have I fancy this solution. I wonder, if someone has a hardware wallet - such as a Trezor - would he/she still be able to send the coins to his/her hardware wallet in a mostly private way? (Assuming that whoever is using the Trezor is connected to his own full node[1])

https://blog.trezor.io/connecting-your-wallet-to-a-full-node-edf56693b545I've done a very quick search and found tails os might be compatible with trezor. If so, and the electrum is what's compatible, could you just use a strong passphrase+tor to get a high level of privacy (the passphrase for trezor extends the nmemonic).
This is assuming you're going to have and use different wallets. Trezor suite also has tor built in but you could still be vulnerable that way if it's on your main os and not a live instance.
