Is it possible that small groups made up of folks who all run their own relays can provide access to those relays to others in the group?
Would this increase stability for each of them?
and what would be the downsides?

helps with decentralization but each query will go to lets say tens of relays. which causes too much traffic. if you are on mobile it will hurt.
Thank you! So too much traffic for each relay, or too many relays for each query?
Too much traffic for the clients (apps). And batteries draining. Could be doable though on a wifi and a PC.
My tree of relays architecture could be relevant for achieving both decentralization and low traffic:

It doesn't use outbox model but still it is something. In this model cilents would write to leafs and read from stems to both achieve decentralization and low traffic.
oh, interesting! This might be above my head, but I'll read it.
I forgot that some folks are running relays on their phones, and was thinking of relays running on something like startOS
