Sure it's not a real problem now, but its a big difference from moving from the most censorship resistent chain to a federated one where many members are US bases companies (even if not we know the extra-territorial jurisdictional power the US (ab)use to apply whatever they want).
Beside that as you mentioned as well the additional conversion from L-BTC to native BTC adds some friction, even it can be lowered with LN/atomic swaps. 

But I agree that from all the potential alternative base layers its likely the best. The only thing is that it would likely not enable AMM as the smart contract capabilities are basically those of Bitcoin. I have not looked closer into the AMM models how they work in detail and I am not 100% if the potential trade-offs they use are acceptable for Bisq. But on my todo list to get a better idea about that.
