> How would you compare this to Stratum v2?

Stratum v2 will help miners with encryption, broadcasting new blocks, signalling bits, choose transactions set, however the mining pools can still reject negotiations and censor payments.

Maybe Stratum v2 can be used in combination with other things like discreet log contracts: https://mailmanlists.org/pipermail/dlc-dev/2021-May/000073.html

I think Braidpool does this in a better way.
