Bitcoin will fail without decentralized mining
You obviously haven't clicked on the link. P2Pool requires too many resources (a full-node). Whereas most of current mining, ran by trusted third-party pools, can even be done off of a raspberry pi, which requires much less resources.

You can just connect to a P2Pool node you know. You don't need to set up your own. Check out

if you still want to learn more.

Isn't that again just recentralizing? The P2Pool nodes could be malicious

Well that's what the share chain is for. Again, if you don't trust the nodes you can run your own.

I used to run a full-node on a Raspberry Pi, has the transaction volume made this unfeasible?

Very. You'd be looking at months to sync, if it managed to at all.
