Thoughts about decentralization and solo staking:
Ethereum's core value is decentralization, and at least for me, this (also) means that anyone can have any role they want, from home. Run nodes, attest, but also propose blocks. Sometimes, others, with more resources, time or money, can build better blocks than me. That's just a fact of life. And if I can sell them the right to build my block, I'm at no financial disadvantage against someone who uses an LST. In the near future, some updates may (again) allow some participants to build better blocks. While we must keep the ability to build blocks from home, we need to acknowledge this discrepancy, and let anyone build the best blocks that they can. 1/2

This means that in a SNARK/STARKified Ethereum bigger players can prove bigger blocks (and maybe I can rent proving-as-a-service, or just sell the right to mine my block), but also a future where someone with a better network can push more blobs (when everyone can probabilistically prove DA and attest). The negative externalities of this will be addressed by things like inclusion lists, encrypted mempools, and builders still choosing to build their own block, especially for blocks where the sophisticated actors add little value. 2/2
