I believe the spoke would remain connected to the mesh.  However, if a
spoke went offline, it would not be able to reconnect until the hub
came back on line.

You could easily have multiple hubs.  (Or every node could be a hub,
i.e. have keys and connection information for every other node.)

Tinc will distribute every known (i.e. trusted) public key to every
currently connected node.

When there is traffic between two nodes, each will attempt to connect
directly to the other.  (This happens after Tinc has, automatically,
provided each node the other's key and IP address..)
