End to end encryption in WebRTC is indeed possible even if you are using an SFU, this is achieved via Privacy Enhanced RTP Conferencing (PERC).

No, it’s not, because PERC is a proposal and is not implemented in any browsers.
That does not mean it isn't possible; the implementation simply has not occurred.

You can say that about almost anything.

The question is: is it possible today where it has an impact today in actual browsers today.

Future technology does not matter when there is no implementation

That’s a pretty unique definition of “possible!”

You can just admit you googled it and didn’t realize it was not something you can do today in browsers, it’s ok :)

You must be new here ;)
