Agreed.

In addition, I'm not sure why the PAR endpoint would need access to the 
decryption keys at all. If you're using encrypted request objects then the PAR 
endpoint receives an encrypted JWT and then later makes the same (still 
encrypted) JWT available to the authorization endpoint. If the PAR endpoint is 
doing any kind of decryption or validation on behalf of the authorization 
endpoint then they are clearly not in separate trust boundaries.
