FWIW, I drafted a spec of Gopher over TLS. Published the server and client
libraries and deployed them in production.

https://gitlab.com/commonshost/goth#gopher-over-tls-got-protocol

TL;DR
- Dual-stack negotiation of plaintext and TLS on port 70/tcp
- Use TLSv1.2 or greater for security.
- Use TLSv1.3 for 0RTT to minimise the performance loss.
- Require SNI for virtual hosting.
- Require ALPN=gopher for future compatibility.
