Well, you're making every packet 1 byte bigger, for starters. If the cost of having simple, straightforward implementations while at the same time easing the operational side of the world is 1 byte per packet, I’m happy to pay the price. People with use cases where a 1-byte overhead really matters already think (D)TLS is too chatty. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons OSCORE exists.
