Discussing things in dollar denominations is not useful to this kind of analysis. If Bitcoin goes up in USD value, so will the routing fees so dollar value is irrelevant. Instead the question to ask is whether fees are too small with respect to the fee rate needed to open/close channels and the payments that are made.
The answer to that question depends on a number of different factors like how long the routing node is intended to be up (which impacts whether the opening/closing fees make you net negative), the time dedicated to the maintenance of the node (a form of labor cost), and the proportional risk of each payment potentially jamming your channel (which you should get compensated for).
Personally, I don't think this is a problem until we see a significant amount of the network force-closing and/or a dramatic decrease in channel openings. Fee mechanics are still really important and I think not adjusting some of these models can result in problems in the future though.
Prepare for medical emergencies. Pets have them, too.
I feel pets were good training towards having a child. Not good enough, but a good first step

Hi Tony, I remember you to thanks me in-person for my Lightning security works at TAB Conf 2022, after or around my panel on this subject, am I correct yes or no ?
Typcial altcoins defense. And exactly what would you do if some hard fork wasn't "supported by the community"? You then have to depend on a decentralized consensus that doesn't exist. It's a centrally controlled coin and a non community supported hard fork likely means it's death. You keep wanting to deny this, but this is Monero and every altcoin's flaw. You're centralized and you're one black swan from death.
If @Alby didn't get permission to do this, I would be very disappointed
