I don't know, does it create problems for NodeInfo clients?

The additional relation type in this JRD was introduced in FEP-2677: Identifying the Application Actor. As far as I can tell, adding links is not against NodeInfo protocol specification, but if additional links cause issues, we can discourage that practice in FEP-0151.

is that the reason mastodon & friends used it at first?

Ed25519 is a newer crypto, EdDSA was first mentioned in draft-cavage-http-signatures-11, 2019. As far as I know, ActivityPub servers were already using RSA at that time.

+1 for writing a FEP, I would contribute to that effort

require ed25519, recommend rsa-v1_5_sha256

I think it should be the other way around: require rsa-v1_5_sha256, recommend ed25519. Since RSA is already used, implementers can start with RFC-9421 and add support for ed25519 later.

As far as I know, Mastodon and WordPress implemented RFC-9421 but not ed25519.

It's developed by @nprofile1q... (he's on a tootik instance, you can test your implementation there)
