The easy answer: It doesn't matter.

Regardless of what you decide there is a 30,000 person waiting list for applications to be processed. They conveniently stopped during the pandemic and even now are processing maybe a dozen a month (all the names are published in the federal register so you can track it yourself).

Most embassies and consulates aren't even taking appointments to process the form: https://uk.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/citizenship/lo...

I can’t stand this 1984 English:

“The U.S. Embassy London is currently unable to accept appointments for Loss of Nationality applications.”

No, they are not “unable”, they are unwilling or refusing.
