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

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.
Yeah, I would also be quite surprised for endpoints to be able to do
encryption/authentication, but not be able to compute PRNG or a simple
hash function. (since QUIC was raised as a document for which, somehow,
our documents turns out to be problematic)
