What I want to avoid is breaking the potential for IoT devices to use these protocols simply because they can’t implement the approaches described here.

Hardware RNGs are pretty common in embedded devices nowadays. I don’t think this is actually a practical problem, although I am curious to know if you know of new hardware for which it would be a problem. I will admit that ancient hardware might have trouble, but it probably won’t be updated, given the state of the art at present, so I don’t think such a device poses a serious problem.
