Hydra and Dex both support OAuth and OpenID Connect. This apparently supports neither, but comes with its own JWT structure.

With inbound federation that shouldn't be much of a problem, but with outbound federation you'll have some very difficult questions to answer (especially because all major identity solutions are pretty much OIC centric these days)

Yeah, I don't expect this JWT scheme to become an adopted standard. It's been streamlined from OIC for the narrow use case of working tightly with a trusted app.

Adding support for inbound federation is on the roadmap. Support for outbound federation using OIC isn't out of the question either, but I don't yet see the motivation.
