Not really. I converted to a routing node because all my private channels to the "big guys" kept getting forced closed. After a bit of research I concluded it was most likely because they weren't being used enough and if I switched over to all public channels they would be more stable (no forced closures yet, but still too soon to tell if this actually fixed anything).

I also like to open medium to large-ish channels like 1M-5M sats per channel with a mix of larger nodes and small to medium sized ones.

I'm sure there is a science to this kind of thing, but for now this seems to be going pretty well compared to how it was before.
