I tried to be pedant :-)

Is it ever possible? My experience shows that adding TCP encapsulation
influences IKEv2 code pretty highly.

Why? Can you clarify in which cases interop will be harder?

If you mean MOBIKE, I agree with you that deadlocks seem to be possible.

Not sure it's worth to mix them.
