You are probably right. I did not think of this.

It is rather easy to verify your theory. If you are right, then
disabling net.inet.tcp.path_mtu_discovery globally should remove the DF
flags from the ESP packets too, right?

Of course, net.inet.tcp.path_mtu_discovery=0 is not a solution, it's just
a way to check the origin of the DF flag.

And if you are right, what does it mean to us? Did you see
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242744 already ?

My ultimate wish is to make transport mode work out of the box, without
any workarounds like additional host routes or firewall rules.
