I thought the whole point of WebRTC was to get rid of need
for native clients of need for conferencing vendors (or at least
those who could charge per-minute.)
It is relatively easy to get 2 person communications working peer-peer 'most of the time'.. All you need to work out is the NAT traversal.
But NAT traversal isn't going to be 100% reliable and when you get to a group call, you really have to make use of some sort of reflector service. And video is quite a bit of bandwidth, especially if you have lots of people.
My complaint is that these are not end-to-end secure.
