I've been playing around with ipv8 recently (just for DS fun), and it definitely can work and is pretty cool. Unfortunate that it's currently Python-only, and the examples really lacked depth / practical coverage.
Biggest complaint: The wire object serialization for messages was a major PITA and I ended up resorting to packing everything into a single JSON-encoded string.
On the topic of distributed secure networks, I've continued on to combing through 0x-mesh, which is compelling to me because it's go and they've reused other open source libs as much as possible.
A neatt approach with some higher level facilities compared to ipv8.
