How could libp2p help this project?

How could libp2p help a multi-protocol p2p file-sharing program similar to MLDonkey, Shareaza or Envy. The project adapts spacedrive's codebase that already uses libp2p.

I am not sure I see the question. Can you be more concrete?

[ghost]

Would it make it easier to implement p2p networks like ed2k, kademlia, dht, bittorrent, direct connect, soulseek, gnutella..?

Yes. Libp2p is a modular system of protocols, specifications and libraries that enable the development of p2p network applications.
Maybe the docs can help you to explore if / how libp2p can help your project https://docs.libp2p.io/introduction/what-is-libp2p/ :)
