RFC8200 also relaxes the requirement that HbH has to be examined by
every host which I think mitigates some of the concerns that prompted
the recommendation against new hop-by-hop options.

I don't think that every hop in the path would necessarily need to
support this. It may be the case that traffic engineering is only
being done on one or two links in the path (backbone links for
instance) so support is needed there, but nodes at other hops could
ignore the HbH option.
