Honestly, it sounds like these devices maybe shouldn't be using internet
technologies that were designed with certain assumptions about
extensibility in mind. With such strong constraints not only on behavior
but on implementation, it really seems like the right thing to do is to
shrink-wrap every interface around exactly what you need and avoid all
unnecessary complexity. That means no TLS, no X.509, no IP, etc. IMO, the
two requirements "Prohibit upgrades" and "Leverage general-purpose network
protocols with large attack surfaces" are in direct conflict.
