You can use anonymous ciphers, that don't require certificates, but then
they are not really secure. Someone listening to the handshake can break
your encoding. Therefore I'd advise against it.
Using server certificates doesn't require much doing, and most of that
certificate code is internal to the OpenSSL library which is quite
stable. 
So you really needn't lose much sleep on the bugs front.

Amit.
