Looks very interesting, I have been building few things on top of iroh past few weeks and I love it, from the ability to run it on some iot all the way to be rf agnostic (almost, can’t use LoRa with iroh due to its datagram limit), and best part, MoQ runs natively on iroh where on wireguard you will need to encrypt twice so more cpu, but i found kernel wireguard performs better at bulk throughput, and layer 3 isn’t by default unless you have TUN like added.
A list of iroh based tools are also found here https://github.com/n0-computer/awesome-iroh
I've also been using Iroh lately, it's pretty neat. I use it to create a connection between my Mac and a pi that I shoved in a closet on an isolated network. The pi reads my house's electric and water meters with an rtl sdr device, and the Mac connects to it every 30 minutes or so to grab and record the latest readings. The pi doesn't have a stable ip (or, I didn't set it up with one), so the Mac uses an Iroh ticket to connect to the pi.
It's much overengineered for what it's doing, and there are definitely less complicated ways to just connect to the pi, but half the fun is playing with new tech.
Mind sharing the bit about IOT? I'm also looking for a way to get iroh working on something like esp32 for audio streaming. Was wondering if moq can be used here
Iroh works on most esp32. Here is a mixed bag of examples for various esp32 variants.

Most examples that I did so far were about simple sensors, but audio streaming should work as well. If you need high bandwidth you might want to look into using the esp32 built in crypto hardware acceleration though.
Although audio is probably fine, but if you want to do video via an esp32 you will need the hardware crypto.
