Fine but as has already been mentioned there are other approaches that can be done without requiring a central server (which I doubt anyone would host for free due to the bandwidth concerns), but in the "real world" I very much doubt that kind of usage will happen very often, and certainly not for the joe average majority, the use of audio/video conferencing will be primarily one 2 one and in which case p2p is perfectly fine for two people talking to each other. Most people will use this sort of thing like their telephone/mobile so will very rarely conference with more than one person at a time let alone 10 people at once, when was the last time you had a 10 way telephone conference for anything other than for business reasons?
