Yes

Endymail has to be compatible. But mail with a hole in it won't be Endymail.

The important thing is users can tell the difference iff it matters

Smime with a gap is still far better than what we have now. It just
can't be the only option

The legal department probably needs access to everyone's email. Do we want endymail to be compatible with such requirements?
