Agreed, Iooked at this when creating a failover service, and trying to replicate all the TCP and TLS data ended up using significant CPU processing and network bandwidth that it wasn’t worth it; in addition to intrusive OpenSSL changes.

You should try to have a way to detect and re-establish a failed connection; it’s significantly easier to do, and requires no modification of the OpenSSL code. Alternatively, having two simultaneous connections might work out.

No.  This is not currently possible, and is unlikely to ever happen in OpenSSL.  It’s too hard.
