I'm curious how this will deal with carrier grade firewalls and NATs. I can't run torrent client on my phone for this reason and I have hard time seeing how anything P2P is going to work on user hostile ISPs

Probably the way syncthing deals with NAT.

I actually suggested Syncthing team to implement something like this few months back but they were not interested.

Do you gave a link to the suggestion? (If it's public)

It's buried in closed issues of Syncthing. This was quite some time back maybe over a year ago.

It can use another node that it knows about for hole punching. Some info here: https://veilid.com/framework/networking/
