if you're willing to forge One Ring to rule them all, using static server key 
shares in TLSv1.3 doesn't change anything in your ability to compromise 
security of all the connections in your network. It also doesn't require any 
changes to TLSv1.3 to work. Yes, it will require changes to MitM boxes and 
decryption software, but that's the case for any new protocol version, isn't 
it?
