Neat idea to use WebRTC. Do I understand it correctly therefore no central server is involved?

I was once in need to stream my shell to some colleges and so I hacked together a tiny shellscript http://liveshell.43z.one/ which should work on most Linux systems without installing any dependencies.

Correct, no central server. It does use google's stun server to establish the connection, but you can swap that out with another stun server with the -s flag (it's easy to host your own and there are many free stun servers)

The -o flag makes things easier but uses https://10kb.site to do the sdp exchange

That shell script is cool

With no TURN server I cannot see it will always work.
