Another countermeasure could be to implement RBF on taproot witnesses, allowing
transactions with deeper, less efficient, tapleaf scripts to be replaced with
shallower, more efficient, tapleafs. If implemented by giving your peer some
kind of delta encoded update, the bandwidth efficiency may be sufficient to
always allow such updates.
