Developing two uncoordinated sets of crypto APIs for browsers sounds like a bad idea in the long term. It's hard enough to get one right. If the webcryto stuff we have today can't meet the needs to many major uses cases - and I view WebRTC and one of them - then I think we need to step back and rethink the API and figure out to get to a common crypto API that can. A good starting point might be to have a joint call and explain what the webrtc guys are trying to accomplish as a use case and tease out some better requirements from a webcrypto point of view and then see how well things align. That might help deal with what to with things like your Req #6 which I suspect is not a short requirement for webrtc but it somewhere we want to go long term. I think that would also make it much easier for everyone to start thinking about what's need and if what you proposed in your email would work well.
