If I live in one state and my parents live a few states over, would I be able to use this network to communicate with them? Not sure if this is a mesh network for long range routing.

for the given constraints (low-power, cheap, low-bandwidth) it works pretty well.

Of course! I'm just curious about 1) what are the real world use cases (e.g. my farm example) and 2) how come Meshtastic™®© is so popular with people who experiment with RF but don't have these constraints; how come that having a couple of points of failure (either in the nodes or the technology) and not being able to experiment outside of LoRa™®© is not more of an issue

(For example I found:)

Reticulum

I was looking into it, seems more like what I have in mind, thank you!
