Answering my own question: that seems interesting. Actually I just
implemented yggdrasil support completely similar as it is done in
yggmail inside nncp-call* and nncp-daemon (basic uTP transport on top of
Yggdrasil's packet interface). My small yggdrasil network works pretty
fine! Of course there is some overhead currently: NNCP's native sync
protocol encryption/authentication on top of Yggdrasil's.

Unfortunately all of that fetches many dependencies: Yggdrasil for
example depends on Wireguard, however actually none of its features is
in use in yggmail and NNCP.
