As far as "wasting cycles" goes, do gemini clients and servers currently run unacceptably slow for you? And have you profiled it and seen that it was the encryption that was making it slow?
It may be. But given how often TLS is used in performance-critical embedded stuff and how many SoCs have encryption hardware onboard, any slowdown probably has more to do with network round trip latency not being hidden by the prefetching and caching that modern web browsers do. And maybe sites don't use TLS compression when they should.

It's not about speed, it's about finite energy and not making wasteful systems.
But you probably have a car and fly too?
If so I can't help you in that department.
