How are people finding performance on PeerTube?
My biggest gripe with videos shared on Mastodon is that with so many nodes hosted on personal infrastructure on the wrong side of the consumer / producer gap in the way the modern web is laid out (i.e. hosted over a consumer cable connection with asymmetric upload / download bandwidth), trying to play a video often feels like I've been zapped back into the late-'90s and am waiting for an animated GIF to download off of USENET. I'm wondering if people generally find videos on PeerTube come through faster.

It's generally bad unless you have a peer or two. The only instance i've used that's fast is videos.lukesmith.xyz but thats probably because his fans self-host and mirror his videos in webtorrent
