Those could be good use cases.  I'd love to see in-depth analysis, if
you (or anyone) has time:
 * What are these, who's using them?
 * What are the communication patterns?
 * What crypto do they have (or want)?

I was thinking of Noise pipes as TLS-like but simpler - so I had TCP
in mind, and was thinking of a handshake followed by a pair of
unidirectional encrypted streams.

It would be great to find cases where that doesn't fit (you mention
wanting something more UDP-like) so we could think about how a
protocol could stretch to fit them.
