Not really. Pure peer to peer is always an option with truly decentralized systems, so you can always completely bypass the middle man. It's not really decentralized if it's not "pure" peer to peer.

Bitcoin with only you and one other person is pretty useless. It's entire utility is predicated on a entire network of middlemen doing the mining.

Just because there are different roles on the network doesn't make it centralized. Furthermore you can set up a mining node yourself.

Which adds a middleman! I think there is some serious misunderstanding of the relationship of middlemen and centralisation here.
