That's correct. The other thing to bear in mind is that the saver mechanism can 
also be used to export any data as a file, it's not restricted to saving the 
wiki itself.

In the case of the standard client server configution, the browser connects to 
the default route triggering a build of the entire wiki file:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/server/routes/get-index.js

Another alternative is to start with an empty index.html stored anywhere 
accessible via HTTP and have it interrogate the server for tiddlers when it 
starts up.

Indeed, the saver mechanism is conceptually much simpler. It's also likely to 
perform better in many situations as one large HTTP transaction is generally 
faster than lots of little ones.

The core client-server implementation uses etags to keep track of whether a 
particular tiddler has changed.

That will certainly simplify things.

Thank you for your interest, IPFS is really very cool and I'm delighted to see 
you experiment with it,

Best wishes
