Are you sure about 2.? To my understanding, Batman simply fragments
packets in that case? So it still works, but a bit slower. But that
slow down is mostly visible only on higher-latency links. If you have
tunnels, you might not see much issues because of the fragmentation.
And for mesh (ad-hoc) connections you can still increase MTU on WiFi
interfaces. Only on AP WiFi interface you would keep 1500 MTU. No?
