Hi,

Just want reply to these:

No, mutual authentication using TLS for client-to-server connections is
used, I believe, in some environments.

I don't think many clients really do that, for privacy concern.  Our
server implementation doesn't care about the stream 'from' on client
connections, regardless of security and authentication.
