I don't think anyone uses it. cert_type was defined in order to use
OpenPGP certs (RPK has SCertT and CCertT, altough in theory one could
use cert_type). Nobody uses OpenPGP. Even the most notable TLS library
supporting those (GnuTLS) is deprecating it.

IIRC, you asked "does anyone use this" before and some MS guys said
yes, they use it.
 
Or at least I remember some guys saying that they use it.

The problem here is, one can't do that with TLS 1.2+1.3 dual-version
either. If client doesn't know what extension X means in TLS 1.3
(but does know it for TLS 1.2), if it advertises it, it runs the
risk that server does in fact know what X does in TLS 1.3, and then
blows up when server acts accordingly.
