I'm not a HAM guy - would you care to distill the lesson that they are ignoring? I infer that, by definition, this is not a mesh, but more of a train. And I further infer that a single node falling out would break the chain and split the "mesh". But I'm just guessing.

What stops a node from redirecting traffic to another nearby node in case of failure/timeout?

It doesn't say how many nodes could hear each node in the emulated env, only that's it's a subset of the total, unlike the unemulated env where they're all in a drawer. There's nothing there that precludes having enough for nodes to route around failures as I see.
