Why do you think it is important to encrypt the epmd traffic?
Is there really any sensitive information exchanged there?
It is really very little data with low frequency exchanged between epmd
and the nodes. It is actually in practice only used during
establishment of a new connection to an Erlang node.

I am not saying that the Erlang distribution is perfect for the use
over global internet but
is really epmd a problem?
