If you do static-key, there is nothing to initialize remotely - local
init, of course, as there is no tunnel interface otherwise.

With TLS, openvpn wants to set up the keying initally, and there is
no way today to delay that "until the first packet comes up" (at least
nothing I know of... there might be evil ways to do that with systemd
and socket-activation etc.)
