I wanted to post a quick note on an idea I just had. The routers can
try to create an openvpn/wireguard tunnel to a list of servers in the
neighborhood. It will be a layer 2 link, with BATMAN running over the
link, so we don't need to worry about routing or bridge loops. The
routers can use a common shared secret for the tunnel - or perhaps an
SSL key signed by a neighborhood CA (me).
This way, even if no neighbors are in reach, the router can connect to
the mesh. I have tested this with openvpn (and manual tunnel config).
I believe it is within AUP for ISPs as well.
