That was not my intention :)  I wouldn't say that EAP for IoT is
impractical, rather than there are many EAP methods and some are likely
more suitable for constrained devices, and links, than the others. For
example EAP-TLSv1.3 with certificates that encode ECC public keys, and
without CA certificates sent over EAP, would provide both EAP peer identity
hiding and shorter message than what's traditionally used (TLSv1.2 or
earlier with full CA chains).

EAP-pwd was also mentioned and while it doesn't provide EAP peer identity
hiding, it authenticates with 4 short request-response pairs (1 for EAP
Identity and 3 for EAP-pwd itself).
