Don’t TLS 0-RTT and ESNI/ECH via HPKE use a type of (semi)static ECDH? If so, 
then an RFC to ban static (EC)DH in TLS would need to be very clear about not 
referring to these use cases of static ECDH.

 

My 2c. What about combining static ECDH (instead of signatures) with ephemeral 
ECDH, e.g. for more fully deniable authentication?  (ECMQV does this.)  
(Perhaps this is also similar to the KEMTLS proposal for PQC, 
https://ia.cr/2020/534 - still need to study that.)
