I take a mostly hands-off approach. But then, I am also not trying to be a routing node. I use my node for my own transactions.

That said, when you have unbalanced channels, it limits your options for which channels a transaction can route through. For instance, if I have a channel with you, and all of the liquidity is on my side of the channel, I can no longer receive any sats with your node as the last hop before reaching me. You may have otherwise been the best route, but because all the liquidity is on my side of the channel, I will need to receive via one of my other channels that may be less optimal and result in a higher fee for the sender.
