First off, there's a difference between Sci-Hub (no content is hosted, only a portal) and LibGen. Papers downloaded from Sci-Hub are hosted in the latter. And secondly, they do offer torrents as a P2P solution: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/repository_torrent/ http://gen.lib.rus.ec/repository_torrent/
I'm not familiar enough with IPFS, but I think once onions play nicely with IPFS (i.e. when this is solved[1]), then it could be very promising. I'm not sure how censorship resistant it could be.

Once you have a torrent they can't add new files to the torrent, they have to make a new one, and you have to download the new one. Also this website is blocked in the UK.
