Ok. I agree this is more readable than the output from tincd -kUSR2 (1.0) or
tinc dump nodes (1.1). But it would not be hard to add column alignment and
colors to tinc 1.1's command line interface, or have it output the data in a
structured format (JSON?) or somehow configurable (using a format string). That
way it can be used as the building block for a web app, but doesn't have to be
a web server itself.

Yes. I think the best information about problems is contained in the full log
output.  I'll try to think of a way to improve the diagnostics though.
