Did you know you can use external engines with Lichess? Indeed, all you have to do is install one small app, login to Lichess from it, use whichever analysis engines you like. Here is a slightly outdated tutorial on how to make it happen: https://siderite.dev/blog/using-external-engines-in-lichess
What I didn't realize until now is that the Lichess design, using an API - which I maligned as overly complicated, allows for something very cool: you can start your Lichess Local Engine application on your powerful home server, then use that engine in your mobile analysis or some other computer you have.
Thanks to a LiChess Tools user I realized that the extension had a bug related to external engines and it caused endless 503 errors. This bug is now fixed in v2.3.107. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I plan some extra attention in the external engine area, perhaps enabling cloud engines integration, if it's not already possible. Please let me know if you have any experience in using cloud engines and if you would like that ability made possible in Lichess.
Enjoy!
