False dichotomy. IIRC reticulum does something like an inverse TTL, so packets have priority based on how local they are.

Nope. It's fundamental.

The problem is in the _addressing_. How do you find the packet's next hop?

Not sure about reticulum but Yggdrasil uses a hybrid spanning tree and dht to guess based off dht and uses key weight to failover to the spanning tree.
