Is there a way to observe inter-instance comment/vote trafic with relation to a specific post or instance ?

No idea. Doesn't really matter though, federation means that federated instances share the space.

If it didn't matter, there wouldn't be so much squabbling regarding defederation

The federation isn't actually a shared space. There's no space between the instances. It's all happening from one instance into another.

That's why we're seeing claims of brigadi ng in this thread. Regardless of if it's true or not, As long as we don't have the tools to observe this traffic at a whole and see the trends, those claim will persist because they remain unverifiable by the average commenter.
