I might be totally missing something here, but does Mycoria attempt to prevent network participants from learning the public-Internet IP address corresponding to a Mycoria router ID?

The "iana" field in the configuration kind of suggests that this is not a goal, and this system is basically Tailscale but with IPv6 and a global namespace. But if this is the case, I don't really understand the emphasis on "routing", since pretty much every Internet host can reach pretty much every other Internet host directly using NAT traversal techniques (like BitTorrent does).

If you are trying to hide public-Internet IP addresses (like Tor hidden services do), the routing scheme still doesn't make a ton of sense to me, because presumably you wouldn't want to leak data by picking routes with a deterministic or latency-dependent strategy.
