And yes, you may well be the first to use it. It's uncommon

Use of client certificates is more common in geminispace:
Gemini mandates the use of TLS encryption. It even provides a
way for servers to request a client certificate for clients,
which is a way to establish a "session" of requests. This
allows developing simple, textual applications where all the
state is maintained server-side without relying on fragile
mechanisms like binding sessions to IP addresses.
