It's not close to the same thing, but definitely not trackable 100%, and comparable levels of privacy. Having less elegant code doesn't change that. If you'd like, we can perform a test in which I make a lightning payment and you track it.

I don't think it's likely that an attacker can crack even your first layer of encryption in the time it takes for a transaction to propagate and settle.
