I am. It's non-custodial. I did a fair amount of digging, then I did a fair amount of asking, and Allnodes came out miles ahead.

"Liquid staking derivatives" are financial instruments. You give them money, they pay you back with interest. I think it's all gonna change a bunch as soon as you can withdraw from the contract. I don't think they'll be in as happy a tax place as actual staking - right now, staked ETH cannot be withdrawn and commodities laws are pretty clear that if you can't access it, it can't be taxed.
