Hey there, Jitsi dev here.
Yes, that is correct (except the Atlassian bit, we are owned by 8x8 now).
Currently WebRTC does not provide the necessary tools to make E2EE possible while still being able to use smart video routing techniques such as simulcast and SVC.
There is hope! In order to be able to have E2EE 2 things are needed:
* some metadata must be available without decrypting packets, this is (mostly?) available as RTP packet extensions, called "frame markings"
* an API is necessary to be able to inject one's own encrypting engine in the WebRTC chain, Google is working on this API and hopefully it's available later in the year. Google is calling this "insertable streams": https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/6321945865879552 https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/6321945865879552
Happy to answer any questions!
