I did some reading about tinc before, and according to documentation and 
mailing lists:

- performance may not be so great

- it gets problematic as the number of tinc instances grows (few will be 
OK, dozens will work, but beyond that, the things might get slowish)

- if I'm not mistaken, you need to run a tinc instance per LXD client, 
not per LXD server, so that's extra management and performance overhead 
(i.e. if two tinc clients are running on the same server, they would 
still encrypt the traffic to each other)
