After playing around with several tools, I settled on the following:

Bitcoin Core - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
Fulcrum - https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum
Mempool.space - https://github.com/mempool/mempool
Alby Hub - https://github.com/getAlby/hub

This gives me the bare minimum (node, electrum server, blockchain explorer, and lightning node).

I had a full LND node running for a while but managing it became a pain, so I shut it down and went with Alby Hub instead.
