I find it difficult to construct a multi-path situation where the paths
are equal (i.e. not wifi vs GbE), and where there are actually more than
one path the entire way.

Can you construct such a network out of laptops, desktops, home routers
and NAS?  Each have one GbE port and a WIFI interface?

Wifi with an AP is a time-division star topology at layer-2, so the
AP decides who gets bandwidth...
