i am reminded of something @Sirius was saying recently on the notedeck call about using webrtc for sharing files and blobs between users p2p. making media and filesharing censorship resistant is something I want to invest heavily into notedeck and damus android. blossom is cool, but so is p2p tech like bittorrent v2 and webrtc filesharing.

Would it be a hybrid model of relays and peers?
i built a poc that uses nostr as the signaling layer for webrtc. it works well for signaling but webrtc is a huge pita once you get outside of the lan.
As others mentioned, IPFS is great in theory and quite a pain in practice. Here in NOSTR there is Blossom which tends to work far better and just about anywhere.
