I believe all Ben's points are addressed in the draft I submitted last
week https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sipbrandy-osrtp-08

I was looking more for something about the impacts of this “relaxation” specific to these sorts of scenarios with dtls-srtp and sdes, and resulting assurances.

SDES without encryption lets an eavesdropper potentially learn the encryption keys, etc. SDES with transport level protection  (e.g. SIPS) protects from off-path eavesdroppers, but allows proxies and b2bua’s in the signaling path to learn the encryption keys.

That suggests that that authentication is sometimes provided. Is there a distinction between the authenticated case and unauthenticated case that should be mentioned somewhere? (For example, is there a need to indicate the distinction to the user?)
