I can see how this makes it more cluttered, less intuitive, and seem as if the basics aren't taken care of (e.g., when will we get P2P?). This makes me think of Google Wave, which I think was brilliant. Unfortunately, I understand that many users weren't able to understand how it worked. I wonder if times have changed enough for people to be able to understand something like threads.
I say that because I think it's an interesting feature. The only reserves I have is how this will be presented so that cognitive loads are reduced, and the possibility that, even at its simplest, the least technically-savvy users will not intuitively understand it. Maybe that's also your reserve(?).
If you want to see how it works, you can also look at Zulip, a forum-messenger-mailinglist hybrid.
P2P on Matrix is far from being a basic feature imo
You're right. In terms of implementation, it apparently isn't so because it's technically difficult.
However, many privacy-oriented people consider it a requisite to be able to use it. Insofar a something is considered a requisite, it can also be basic.
