Single-use tickets are only a protocol requirement when 0-RTT data is used.
The OpenSSL implementation even allows the libssl-internal enforcement of
single-use to be disabled (see SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY at
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/SSL_CTX_set_options.html).
OpenSSL as a client also has some measures to encourate single-use tickets,
which I have a PR open to provide a knob to disable:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/16598 .
