Two questions: 1) are there technical restrictions for using this mesh network with remote aerial sensors, i.e. does it hurt badly when nodes move? 2) how well would it perform indoors in manufacturing plants? I'm thinking of low-cost adhoc industrial IoT prototyping.

According to the spec [1] it's for both mobile and fixed devices:

"LoRaWAN™ network protocol which is optimized for battery- powered end-devices that may be either mobile or mounted at a fixed location. "

I spoke with one associated with the lora alliance today and 1) yes, up to about 300 km/h, and 2) they perform well up to 20m underground in cities if gateways are placed every 500-1000m.
