Connecting the nodes through a common backbone shouldn't be necessary in a mesh network. Nodes can provide connectivity by relaying even if they don't have access to internet directly.
You still need a governance model for the mesh. IP, NAT, anti-DDOS, certificate authorities, emergency services, phone network integration, etc... Otherwise you just end up with the worlds biggest open wifi network. About as safe as a hat full of mercury fulminate.
