I agree multi-point with application level multicast scales badly but in a the cases where there are only 3 or 4 parties I think it can be an effective technique (and in those cases often simpler than try to insert an RTP mixer somewhere).
Yes, I agree that there are some potentials in this use case. So I am not against it, but it is going to need some considerations.
However, if this is done at the application layer then as far as the protocol is concerned it is a collection of point-to-point connections and does not need specific protocol support.
Possibly, but there are RTP features that will work better if it actually happens in a joint RTP session context.
