Lighthouse could not connect to a suitable eth1 node

Probably, yes. There should be another log message above or below that would show not synced yet or something like that.

Right, I see it:

Jan 31 18:32:43.819 WARN Eth1 endpoint is not synced             action: trying fallback, last_seen_block_unix_timestamp: 1643652216, endpoint: http://localhost:8545/, service: eth1_rpc 

This sounds like a bug in lighthouse, it's confusing.

So for this guide, should we add a step to wait for geth to sync before starting lighthouse?

Both clients can sync at the same time. It should eventually resolve by itself.
