I don't think it is. Echo cancellation should occur using output audio as close
to the speakers as possible to cancel echo in input streams as close to the
microphone as possible. It would seem to me the appropriate place would be
either a LocalMediaStream or the corresponding audio track.

Even if (especially if!) you just planned to play back the stream locally,
you'd want echo cancellation enabled. Alternatively, if didn't want to play or
transmit the stream, but, e.g., just wanted to record it, or use it for
visualization, or something else, you'd want to be able to shut echo
cancellation off. No PeerConnection is involved in any of these cases.

If you put the option at the LocalMediaStream level, I'd say "all of them"
(assuming we even allow more than one). If you put it at the track level, then
this question goes away.
