I think I've been thoroughly dissuaded, but just to clarify one thing
that resembles a misunderstanding:

Everything being discussed is per-TCP-connection overhead, *not* per
packet. (Twice for outgoing connections, because one is to generate
the ephemeral port number.)
I know you know this, but I don't want anyone spectating to be confused
