I think these concerns can largely be addressed by ECDHE with e.g. X25519:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/343.pdf

This implementation does variable-base X25519 scalar multiplication in
13,900,397 cycles, or ~0.869s on a 16MHz AVR CPU commonly found on
Arduinos. I imagine fixed-base scalar multiplication can be further
optimized.
