I don't see why it wouldn't work. Note that you don't need a full
mesh, just make sure all tinc nodes are part of the same graph and you
should be good to go.

tinc will automatically figure it out and establish direct UDP
connections between nodes (using UDP hole punching to circumvent NATs
if necessary), even if they don't have a direct "ConnectTo"
declaration for each other. In other words tinc will always use the
most efficient route (i.e. direct UDP communication) assuming it's
technically feasible over the underlying network.
