Looks interesting if I ever get my lightning nodes back up I will have to take a look at it.
EXCEPT, cloudflare? Why?
It should be P2P not P2 -> some big corporate entity -> 2P
Granted I didn't read why they are doing it or much else since I am mobile so it could be in 24 point bold text as the reasons, but to me that in general would be a show stopper.

Hi I developed redphone so I wanted to chime in.
- cloudflare is optional if you want to access redphone outside the network where you run the app but if you run it on a raspberry pi or your laptop, no need to use free encrypted tunnel by cloudflare, you can just go to localhost or 192.168.0.x and use redphone normally.
- Tor is not possible, I actually started with tor but I had to change it because webrtc is disabled in tor browsers.
I agree tg, signal, matrix are all more convenient but basically now we have an alternative p2p network (Lightning Network) that has payments built in. Even though those platforms will do end to end encryption, there will still be some central servers that arrange the call, help with discovery etc.
Redphone does the signaling over LN and webrtc is encrypted by default so it's fully p2p.
