Difficult to answer.
IPNS uses the IPFS kademlia DHT, which has some performance problems that you can argue are fundamental.
For solving a similar problem with iroh, we would use the bittorrent mainline DHT, which is the largest DHT in existence and has stood the test of time - it still exists despite lots of powerful entities wanting it to go away.
It also generally has very good performance and a very minimalist design.
There is a rust crate to interact with the mainline DHT, https://crates.io/crates/mainline https://crates.io/crates/mainline , and a more high level idea to use DHTs as a kind of p2p DNS, https://github.com/nuhvi/pkarr https://github.com/nuhvi/pkarr
