If we do anything less trivial than "highest supported by both" (and
I suspect we want to in the final production version), I'd prefer
the configuration to list versions one side supports in decreasing
order of preference (e.g. "v3 v0 v2"), and take the earliest from
this list that both sides know how to talk, so that we can skip
insecure versions altogether by omitting, and we can express that we
would rather avoid talking expensive versions unless there is no
other version that is understood by the other side.
