You still haven't actually said why blockchain technology would be appropriate. If you just want the peer to peer aspect of it there are lots of choices. Now I'm the first to admit I'm no expert on blockchain stuff, but from what I understand there's several reasons to use it and they don't really align with STK's use cases.
From my understanding, blockchains are used to accumulate peer to peer data you want everyone to have for later verification. Most of the networking stuff, especially input data would have too much latency using a blockchain and both the latency and bandwidth requirements may increase as data is accumulating. Also I struggle to find a reason for people to get all that data for verification later since pretty much all of the data would only be useful for that one session.
In any case, the base networking is already done so there would have to be a very good reason indeed to do large changes now. Possibly you'd have to implement it yourself.
