We are definitely working to support this type of scalability and
transient account use. It might be useful to setup an API that would
allow the user to identity the account as a one-time use variety.
Related to this, we are integrating Ostel/VoIP functionality into
ChatSecure, and users will be generating Ostel accounts in a similar way
to what is being proposed here.
Finally, Ostel.co is just our first public instance of what we hope is a
wider set of OSTN nodes around the world. We have Iceland, Netherlands
and Hong Kong coming online in the near future. Notes on running your
own server are available on the wiki:

Perhaps direct IP-to-IP VoIP calling over TCP would work with Linphone
using Onion addresses on each side? In this case, a central server would
not be needed at all.
Best!
