This seems like it would have performance implications?

Also, this can potentially discard information from tunnels that
preserve the hash before encapsulation (we added support for this to
Wireguard which had some nice effects on queueing of encapsulated
traffic).

Could you elaborate a bit on the kind of bad hardware hashes you were
seeing?
