We need the Omni Node like two years ago but is better late than never.
For teams need EVM RPC, I would like to highlight that for Acala EVM+, we implement the RPC on a separate nodejs server and that have many advantages over Frontier. I believe this is the right direction for any custom RPC needs, rather a custom built node binary.
With Omni Node, LTS is much less a concern as there won’t be any maintenance burden of the node binary.
