If you are concerned about metadata, run your own server, p2p won't help you here because simply put: you still need a hosted highly available homeserver, otherwise the UX and reliability will be unacceptable to most people.
Anyways, this is overstated and exaggerated a lot, people leak metadata to their ISP and their favorite cafe's wifi router all the time.
If anything that can be done it will be added to Matrix, in the meantime, it is the best there is.

Don't get me wrong, all of that effort and work is great, it's by no means a must have and telling people that Matrix has unacceptable privacy issues, while they are using Telelgram and Twitter DM, is a bit unwise.
If you make VoIP chat using webrtc you are leaking your IP to your contact, even in Signal, hell, you are leaking your IP to signal server all the time, it is all tradeoffs.
There is no such thing as perfect privacy.
