There is actually another option for those that just want a stable reference.
Quoting from draft-ietf-tls-rfc8447bis:

I believe this captures my main concerns quite well.
In particular, I believe it conveys the point that absent very specific 
considerations (and I still have not heard of any I consider valid), deploying 
this is probably a bad idea.
