Review how DST testing nodes use nim-libp2p and help improve correctness, stability, and alignment with library best practices.
Description
DST testing nodes exercise nim-libp2p in scenarios that can reveal integration problems, incorrect assumptions, and missing operational guidance. P2P should review their current usage, identify risky patterns, and support changes that make the test nodes more stable and representative.
