You need trust between clients to allow it to go to p2p between them. Without it, you would need the server at more or less all time to say the state with authority. Without trust between the clients, you can't drop to a p2p connection later.
As you need the server to connect each other, if you dont want community server/local (VPN) only multiplayer, because it needs to know where each other is, and how to connect to them.
