mediasoup co-author here.
So you don't know what mediasoup does but you assure that "no need to use a SFU". Too much free time to comment maybe?
e2ee makes sense in one-to-one and N-to-N scenarios. It's just more complex in N-to-N scenarios because you DO need a centralized server so each participant just sends its audio/video once (to the server) and the server distributes it to others given whichever application policy/logic. That's a SFU, and that's what mediasoup does.

We may be talking past each other, I'm talking about webrtc in general as the subthread was discussinh that. Think about a limited user count screen sharing or vr app with a/v comms built in for example.
