This seems like it conflates two questions:

1. Visibility for incoming connections, which is more difficult with 1.3
(and 1.2 with (EC)DH)
2. Visibility for outgoing connections which works fine with TLS 1.3 with
proxies.

Well, TLS 1.2 will not support post-quantum, so I think our recommendation
needs
to be that you ought to be moving to TLS 1.3 (I'm deliberately using "ought
to" to
avoid the MUST/SHOULD/MAY discussion).
