Making TLS 1.2 available as a fallback is vital. Many secure private edge 
networks will never allow TLS 1.3 because of ECH. Think government, military, 
corporate. The moment we explicitly disallowed fallback, these networks would 
be forced into explicit edge proxies with private keys. I think that's an 
outcome worth avoiding.

So, +1 to the above.
