The very fact that the signature is valid at every RS is why you need additional measures to prevent cross-RS token reuse. This downside of signatures for authentication was pointed out by djb 18 years ago (https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/sci.crypt/73yb5a9pz2Y/LNgRO7IYXOwJ), which is why most modern crypto protocols either use Diffie-Hellman for authN (https://noiseprotocol.org) or sign a hash of an interactive handshake transcript (TLS 1.3 - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446#section-4.4.3) so that the signature is tightly bound to a specific interactive protocol run.

Yes, exactly.
