That sounds like a good way to get very inefficient routing.

Supposed I have keypair A at a friend and keypair B for me, how is cjdns going to find the fastest route between me and my friend?

Tbh, this doesn't look like something that could scale to Tbps Bandwidths... It seems a lot of processing is required to properly route the packet to the next hop and that happens independently of whether the next hop is even remotely an ideal one.

Atleast, as far as I can tell from this page.
