Pruning seems to break fee estimation on testnet

Whenever I try and spend from my pruned testnet node I get an error: fee estimation failed. Set -fallbackfee or wait a few blocks. The node is fully synced.
Researching it and its possible its a testnet quirk, really not great if we cant spend on testnet without adding a fixed fee to the conf.
UPDATE: “waiting a few blocks” fixed it, however still not ideal. I propose we add a fallbackfee to the default bitcoin.conf in Standup that the user can customize. If the user is not using Standup they would have to add this manually.

Not really a FN2 issue as simply waiting fixes it. Will raise this as an enhancement to bitcoin.conf on Standup.
