I agree with your conclusion, since zaps are donations, not payments. Just a small nit pick: in my experience, slowness in LN is usually the receiver problem. I've seen well-managed nodes settle in under a second. And I think it's still worth pushing for better LN.
Of course this is not related to Nostr which can do its own thing. But also the clients should make the distinction between settled and not settled visible to the receiver in case people start selling services for zaps.
