I'm not going to pretend I know all about IP routing and networking. I understand enough of it to have a home server all appropriately set up with IPv4.

But what makes this quote a problem? I mean, it seems a bit excessive, but I don't understand why...

Just a gut check but it feels ugly to put auth in an L3 proposal.

I feel the same, I guess using JWT is the joke here?
