You need both a local interface to set the role, and a bit on the wire
to verify that the remote application set is role compatibly.  Isn't
that the minimum necessary to break the symmetry of simultaneous open?
Anything less risks complete connection failure (not just fallback to
plaintext) when the tie is incorrectly broken.
