I agree that the default mode of operation needs to be secure and safe.
Since 0-RTT is so important for TLS 1.3, I would favor making the default
0-RTT mode secure.

Exactly.  Stateful 0-RTT session resumption can get us there, I think.  The
simplest approach I can think of is to use session caches.  If we don't
mind some PFS loss (comparable to what we got in TLS 1.2), the
straight-forward 0-RTT solution seems to work.
