If you're actually running kubernetes and you say you're running stuff "in the spirit of kubernetes" it gives the strong impression you are not actually running kubernetes.

I also didn't say your networking was primitive, just that "hub and spoke" and "mesh" are two entirely different things that you seemed to have conflated entirely.

And that is correct. We are indeed not running kubernetes because it is not supported on our hardware and some assumptions were limiting. So we have a new system, but having kubernetes as our ideal.

Hub and spoke is the underlying architecture of the net, but we are achieving mesh like functionality having hub as our central router. The wording might be a bit confusing.
