a) It seems like if an implementation has updated to be able to handle a specific GREASE alert, it should be able to handle not sending an invalid cipher suite. In general, its probably cleaner for the connection to fatally shutdown and then restart if the server is behaving that poorly. Servers that are sending back non-existent ciphers are also potentially broken in other ways, and I don't know whether a client should trust that it can reset any handshake state correctly if it were to try doing a "warning" alert. b) The reasoning behind having an explicit list is so that implementations don't send a value that ends up being defined as some other valid value. Otherwise its possible that some implementations will update to include GREASE values, but they might not update immediately upon new values being assigned by IANA, which means that there will be periods of times that some clients might send "fake" values that collide with real values, confusing the peer implementation into believing they actually support something that they don't and resulting in more intolerance issues between outdated GREASE clients and newly updated servers, with this intolerance being firmly the GREASE clients fault. The hardcoded list gets around this by making sure GREASE never overlaps with an actual value, though at the trade-off that badly designed implementations could choose to just hard-code ignore the GREASE codepoints.
