This isn't quite true, if three peers support https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Transport_Protocol, a third peer that has a port forward can act as a STUN server for the two peers without and let them connect directly to each other.
I don't know how well it works in practice, but Transmission supports it so I'll rely on it while this whole PF business settles down.
