But this gives a user greater flexibility to more fine-grained trust. What
sort of problem do you see with this?

We don't normally fear adding options in libcurl, but this is a very
specialized option that very few users would know how to handle. Also, based
on what's said it might also tweak behavior other TLS backends already do on
their own, not to mention that other backends may not be that easy to alter
this behavior for.
