I believe a plausible solution is for the server to supply the client a list of all type byte codepoints in the ServerHello that have been defined in versions subsequent to this connection's version and the server supports, and hence should not be greased by the client.  And greasing would never be done until the handshake completes, of course.

This is not that elegant, but ensures all codepoints are in use at all times, either by valid connections or by greasing the value.
