The Observer role was intended to prevent peers from being disruptive and/or interacting with other peers in the group. It wasn't intended to cripple custom protocols running on-top of the groups such as file sharing and message syncing.
In cases where it might be undesirable for observers to use custom packets (e.g. starting a file transfer) the client will still have the ability to decide whether or not to allow it.
