Where are these "RFC-only implementations" of Babel?
Remember the IETF does not have a protocol police, MTI is purely guidance.
Implementors build what they (or their customers) need for their use-case.
Implementors will add Blake if they need it, not based on whether it's MTI
or not.
Lastly, remember that this is a security solution, so you do NOT want to
interoperate with a future theoretical implementation, because that will
not have the keys. Adding any new node in the network will require a
provisioning step, and that step ensures the new node supports the
required features.
