I don’t think anyone serious. Ecash has been available for years and no one of substance uses it.

If the TEE is a black hole, like how Spark says "trust us we deleted the key", a chain node might be able to run autonomously

That's its own type of rug risk because if anything whatsoever breaks, like an outdated cert or corrupted file, no one can fix it

Lightning nodes are too high touch to be a black hole

Since hosted chain wallets are useless given self-hosted chain wallets don't have the same infrastructure overhead of lightning, that's purely masturbation. Sats can't trustlessly be credited via LN deposits.
