This seems like a no brainer to me.

HTTP/2 is negotiated via ALPN. If the server selects HTTP/2 and also does
something that is non-compliant with HTTP/2 that's a protocol error, not a
negotiation error.

afaict, failing to use TLS 1.2 is an example that isn't really any
different than sending a data frame > 14bits long. HTTP/2 has rules - if
you can't follow them then run a different protocol, right?
