IMHO "NIP-05 identifier" should be renamed "Nostr Address" because it looks like an email address and it's for Nostr… And the NIP-05 spec should be amended to _require_ clients implementing it to use that name (or it's equivalent translation).
As far as the confusing onboarding process… What I want to do is have them set up their profile on my site. My users will want explicit profile pics, so I'll handle the hosting of those and set everything up for them - I'll set up their (NIP-05) Nostr address, set up their relays, set up an interesting follow list of people I think they'll like, etc. and then give them their nsec and tell them to go have fun on a full-fledged client and come back if they have any problems.
So "set up your profile here - but use any client you want for day-to-day stuff".
