IPFS is slow and impractical. The design of the content addresssble system is cool, but having tried approximately annually to run it for production usage since it was released, I can say that it is still firmly in the “research project” category, a decade later.
The weakest part of IPFS in my experience is how long it takes one node to find another with the requested data across the internet through the public DHTs. I imagine it might work much better in this system if they're limiting it to only do lookups and fetches within your own network of nodes.
