Should people detect a critical attack against AES tomorrow, changing
--data-channel-ciphers to avoid AES ciphers would be a good thing.

As of today, there is no hole in any of the standard ciphers, so fumbling
with --data-channel-ciphers will not improve anything.

No.  This is why I wrote "tls-auth *or* tls-crypt".  Both are good, but
only one of them can be used at the same time (tls-crypt is newer, includes
tls-auth functionality, but requires 2.3 and up clients) - it depends on
the circumstances which one you can use.
