Yeah, I'm really sad that I didn't get some serious effort together on this back at the start of the year. There's no lockdown funk here, just too busy working on Ardour.
One of the 2 netjack implementations uses Opus - great stuff.
Absolutely right that the good stuff (i.e. not zoom) requires way too much setup, and even then (as you note) you're not guaranteed reliable function because you don't control all the hops. Soundjack gets the user-side fairly good, but it's still not quite what I think would have really taken off during the pandemic - probably needs a mobile app for that.
