one of the typical use-cases of IBSS mode was to connect larger amount of routers for a mesh network. > Remark this is my IMHO and a number of other people disagree with this. > > I know. > > I just tell that you can build a very good ad-hoc network without an AP > and with 2-interface routers.

The only question is if you have one wireless radio interface (among many on a router) connecting to two other routers (with maybe many more interfaces) that cannot hear each other on this interface. It can even happen on AP/client networks if you use them to connect multiple routers. There is no guarantee that the clients can see each other.
