The current experiment binds directly to a TcpListener. It might be interesting to bind to some treat which provides the accept and listen function which could be driven by a simulator.

Definitely, and I think if we don't use libp2p eventually then we should strongly consider adapting and adopting libp2p's architecture when it comes to abstracting "transports", "streams" and "network behaviours". See the libp2p crate's docs here for details.
