Here's a diagram showing a mix of layer 2 and 3 for theoretically better roaming support:

https://libre-mesh.org/projects/libre-mesh/wiki/Network_Architecture?version=10

As for something like 802.11n adhoc mode, sudomesh - the group that I'm part of - is leveraging ath9k support to use 802.11n adhoc mode.

We probably have some reference documentation of that somewhere on our wiki. If it's not there I can add it....
