Nickel is viable for mining in set regions as I've said before.
Although Li-ion batteries are named over lithium, they require quite a small amount of it compared to other materials. the bulk of the battery is the Cathode.

Of course, Anodes are of extreme importance as well but Graphite\Silicon are more manageable than Nickel for example.
Anodes are more of an enabler for other things. for instance, anode almost solely dictates the charging rate of the battery. very important parameter for sure.
