indeed - I never noticed an unreasonable amount of tinc management traffic
with any of my setups.

How exactly did you verify, that tinc meta traffic is really the culprit?
Did you compare the traffic over your uplink interface with the traffic
over the tinc interface?
Maybe there is just a huge amount of payload traffic exchanged between the
nodes over the tinc VPN?
Since you are using "switch" mode, this could even be broadcast traffic.

Cheers,
Lars
