This is the world which corresponds to the video I made on the @ribqahisabsent YouTube channel about automated boat networks.
Structure files for the intersections, turns, and terminals are included in the "generated > minecraft > structures" folder of the world.
The designs in this world are proof of concept and are not optimal for use in survival.

WRT the showcase:
1st reaction was a mix of WOW! & D__M!.
Using chest boats to encrypt information has the potential to be revolutionary.
I'm not sure how the expense (materials + effort) to construct the network balances against time saved in use: these would probably make the most sense for heavy trafficked routes on a well populated server with strongly dispersed areas of interest.
(Even here, I think there would need to be a reasonable expectation of the server lasting long enough before the next reset to recoup the costs.)
It should be mentioned that piston bolts suffer from the same constraints.
I also wonder about the decrease in speed that would occur if the chest boat was emptied before being broken at each intersection [and turn?] — this would allow using the rest of the chest for transport.
EDIT: On reeflection, this is likely only of intellectual/theoretical interest as shulkers would likely be readily available by the stage where such a network would be built.
WRT the video itself: It is refreshing to see a discussion of the relative advantages/disadvantages of an idea included 👍
Also nicely organized and well presented.
Someone on the technicalminecraft subreddit had a similar idea about using the spare inventory space in the boat. I think it would be impractical to design a network for fully packed boats, but a boat with a few items in it could conceivably be made without any slowdown.
An idea came out of that conversation was having a network that uses 4 unstackable items from the boat to serve as blocker items in the hopper minecart. Any of the 4 items could be a shulker box, and because boat hitboxes are so large, multiple hoppers could be used to quickly reload them into the new boat.
While, unfortunately, I think these networks are impractical purely because they can't be used in the nether, it's exciting to already have ideas for improvements coming back from viewers!
EDIT: Actually, someone pointed out that end travel could be a use case for boat networks. In the end, the nether can't be accessed, so a network like this could be the fastest way to automate travel, but would probably only be useful if a world had several points of interest in the end.
I can't find a listing for a limit to how far out a dragon can fly (although a few comments mention that they can apparently go through gateways [!?] ).
I've had some success starting non-end native block construction 320 blocks out, but – for something as complex as a boat network terminal – I'd want a high degree of confidence it wouldn't be subject to the dragon's disintegration attack…
