How do we know when we are in that situation and not in some other
situation?   I think this is a solvable problem, but we have to say what
the solution is.   That's what I've been advocating for here.

Yes, but that's the law. I still don't get how is it possible that the IETF

It's illegal in some countries for women to drive.   Should we stop making
cars?   Is it ethically unacceptable to make cars because women might use
them to violate this law in jurisdictions where it exists?

The DoH community does not have consensus on this, so it can't make a
statement about it.

We can't write a set of policy guidelines.   That's an issue that will vary
by jurisdiction.   What we can do is document the threat model, document
the use cases, and talk about how to address them.
