tomesh is literally doing CJDNS+OrangePiZero+5GHz+WAP+802.11s to get the most inexpensive yet performant meshing node. Come chat via Matrix at #software:tomesh.net

Mmm, how is throughput? I know that on an OrangePi PC (same Allwinner H3) I was getting 5MB/s for a point to point transfer, didn't check relay throughput though. I assume the H5 would do better with gigabit and 2.5x better NEON performance, but I've yet to test (just got kernel 4.10 built for it & booting Debian reliably).

Seems to be good, here are some iperf3 tests over the link:

OPi with no build flags: [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr [ 4] 0.00-120.00 sec 290 MBytes 20.3 Mbits/sec 165 sender [ 4] 0.00-120.00 sec 290 MBytes 20.3 Mbits/sec receiver.

OPi with optimal build flags: [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr [ 4] 0.00-120.00 sec 366 MBytes 25.6 Mbits/sec 141 sender [ 4] 0.00-120.00 sec 366 MBytes 25.6 Mbits/sec receiver
