I like it, but doesn't this inherently expose all currently connected users' IP addresses to all other users?

In other words, if I connect to the webpage and just monitor the swarm, can I log all IP addresses that accessed that page?

Theoretically though it would depend on the size of the swarm and how many peers you had. Tor doesn't support webrtc either.
