It's actually only the nature of certain algorithms like CCM which requires the total length to start the operation. Most AEAD algorithms can be implemented in a way that allows piecemeal operation. However, as the only users of AEAD is IPsec, it's probably not worth adding more complexity for now. So let's proceed with your current solution.
