For now just @SECLEVEL=0.  There's not yet a more fine-grained to set the security level for crypto parameters but allow certificate-less key exchange.  If you're willing to allow MiTM attacks, then downgrades are of scope, and the peers will negotiate the best available ciphers, so @SECLEVEL=0 is probably fine, you'll still get strong ciphers.
You can also limit the cipher list to exclude anything you feel is too weak to offer.
