sslset also returns too late if it has been called after global init.
How are you calling it, with name or id? There was an issue when id was
set to -1 that was fixed [1] a year ago. Also there was an improvement
in 7.60 to return the backends even if too late [2]. The change is
documented you could test for it like this:

   if(rc != CURLSSLSET_OK) {
     curl_version_info_data *verinfo = curl_version_info(CURLVERSION_NOW);
     if(verinfo->version_num >= CURL_VERSION_BITS(7,60,0)) {
       /* backend list available even if CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE */
     }
   }
