Kind of.

You will not see a fallback because there is no such thing as a fallback
in TLS really, what we call fallback is a re-attempt to contact the same
host but bypassing TLS when we know we failed earlier.

When this happen with a client connecting to us, what you'll see is that
a TLS session has failed (usually with "IO Error") and then the same one
is establishing a new session without TLS.

Same applies for the outgoing path when we fallback ourselves.
