I think it depends on how those nodes were communicating. If they were communicating via low bandwidth LORA, then yes, I could absolutely see that. But they could also be communicating over point-to-point laser links, in which case you could still maintain a very large connection pipe.
I do see your point, though, in that in order to have a more decentralized infrastructure, we are going to have to accept lower bandwidth than what we are currently used to on the centralized internet.
Considering I already route most of my internet connection over Tor for most day-to-day things anyway, this is something that I am already accepting and getting used to. So the transition won’t be as hard for me as it would be for some others.
That does sound fun. I currently have Columba (android lxmf/nomadnet browser) set to go tcp to mishmesh, but i have a tor/i2p client called Invizible installed that I use to route most of my internet traffic over Tor on a normal basis as is and I could just turn on I2P and see if I could get Colomba to route over it.

I feel ya, I leave I2P running just to support the cause.
If you want a fun side project, you could pipe reticulum over I2P, there are at least a handful of nodes out there.
