No, you won’t lose your account or profile. On Nostr, your account is a key pair: your npub (which is public, in your case, nostr:nprofile1qqsrtgjmf67x8kxj3vp03am4afuryx6l6znft0pa9fc8zszzrek0hgs4lgquv) and your nsec (which should be known only to you, think of it as a password of sorts).
Your Lightning address is completely unrelated to your Nostr identity. You can create one on WoS, Coinos, etc., and associate it with your account.
You don’t need to pay for Primal, and you don’t need to pay for Alby Hub’s cloud account.
In fact, I’d even argue that, at least in the beginning, you shouldn’t pay for anything. Only pay for a service when, and if, it starts adding value to you. For your first experiments zapping on Nostr, a free wallet that provides a Lightning address (so others can zap you and you can zap them back) is more than enough.
