Looks interesting! I'm currently, and thankfully, not responsible for any infrastructure where this would be useful, but will definitely check it out the next time the need arises. TeamViewer is (both technically and commercially) awful, and getting rid of it is always priority #1 when taking on a new environment. You always run into fun stuff like 'oh, yeah, this 4-years obsolete version is running on our main accounting server all the time, as that's the only thing the vendor supports, and they need to be able to get in at all times'... 'yes, indeed, using only a 4-digit PIN, why do you ask?'... Being able to supply your own RustDesk rendezvous/relay server is especially interesting to me, as features like proper SSO-linked 2FA, a log of who accessed what from where (hopefully including file transfers), and alerts on large data flows becom a lot easier to implement that way.

Sadly TeamViewer is the only thing that works on old Android Point-of-Sale devices which are still numerous. And since Android requires the manufacturer signature to do screen sharing on older versions and those manufacturers are either dead or too big to care, it will remain to be so. I can't wait though for the day the place I work for decides to drop support for them and stops paying for that... thing as it's not only extremely expensive and awful from a security perspective but also from a general quality one: some days their server just decides to not log you in, they have a nasty crashing bug that often happens when you resize your meeting window that has been there literally for years, among other things.
