I feel your pain. Right now I only do really critical transactions on mainnet and have started using hop protocol to aid touching L1. That said, I also have stuff on L1 and the fees for unlocking do make the eyes water...
.. But I had to do one the other day. Ouch! But at least it was 'only' 40 gwei or so.
Edit, I was remembering something else. 75 gwei...
