KISS ... for the primary business requirement .... the application already 
has anti-replay .... TLS ant-replay is then redundant and superfluous.

yes, it isn't existing TLS .... it is KISS TLS based on primary business 
requirement ... as mentioned in original,  not on existing specification

be used more extensively.
