Using bitcoind's estimatesmartfee 4 ECONOMICAL is extremely aggressive for mutual close; particularly since you can use CPFP if you really want to speed it along. Drop to 100 ECONOMICAL (i.e. "slow") by default.

We're rarely in a hurry here, and bitcoind is aggressive with fees.
You can always spend this output if you really have to, using CPFP.
