We do care about it. We're scanning origins so that we can send a supported
keyshare immediately and avoid HRR (not rolled out yet.) That's not just
for performance, but also to deal with origins that don't support HRR.

I also don't think this data supports the conclusion that P-256 will have
fewer HRRs. As you mention the population is quite skewed: only origins
that configured Cloudflare in front. More importantly, there are servers
that will HRR to X25519 if presented a P-256 keyshare. (Eg. BoringSSL's
default behaviour.) Unfortunately I don't have data at hand how often that
happens.

Best,

 Bas
