Often the communication between servers will be over a private/secure network and the user should be allowed to disable it if they deem it an unnecessary overhead.
Is that another myth - the secure/private/inside network? :-)

At least write the documentation so that most people believe that they have to have TLS and work hard to disable it :-)
