I have since moved my addresses to native segwit. I thought about this, and the main reason for doing so, was privacy, since most addresses being used on network are bc1q.
It’s good but If it’s about privacy, then just using Native segwit  doesn’t guarantee your privacy[don’t get me wrong..as I’m not against segwit ], Privacy has to do with the way you move your coins and declare your addresses.. With segwit you have cheaper transaction fees anyways which can help you save some sats when you want to do any future consolidation of UTXOs( since you said you’re used to doing that )

I totally agree. I will be setting up my own node, with private electrum server next. Going to native segwit was the first part, should have mentioned it in previous post.
