No, it's the client how decides to use SMB2_CHANNEL_RDMA_V1* or
SMB2_CHANNEL_NONE. And for any read or write over an signed or encrypted connection
it must use SMB2_CHANNEL_NONE! Otherwise the clients memory can be written or read
by any untrusted machine in the middle.

MS-SMB2 says this:

3.2.4.6 Application Requests Reading from a File or Named Pipe
...
If the Connection is established in RDMA mode and the size of any single operation exceeds an
implementation-specific threshold <138>, and if Open.TreeConnect.Session.SigningRequired and
Open.TreeConnect.Session.EncryptData are both FALSE, then the interface in [MS-SMBD] section
3.1.4.3 Register Buffer MUST be used to register the buffer provided by the calling application on the
Connection with write permissions, which will receive the data to be read. The returned list of
SMB_DIRECT_BUFFER_DESCRIPTOR_V1 structures MUST be stored in
Request.BufferDescriptorList. The following fields of the request MUST be initialized as follows:
...

3.2.4.7 Application Requests Writing to a File or Named Pipe
...
If the connection is not established in RDMA mode or if the size of the operation is less than or equal
to an implementation-specific threshold <141>or if either
Open.TreeConnect.Session.SigningRequired or Open.TreeConnect.Session.EncryptData is
TRUE, the following fields of the request MUST be initialized as follows:
- If Connection.Dialect belongs to the SMB 3.x dialect family,
   - The Channel field MUST be set to SMB2_CHANNEL_NONE.
   - The WriteChannelInfoOffset field MUST be set to 0.
   - The WriteChannelInfoLength field MUST be set to 0.

For sure it would be great if servers would also reject SMB2_CHANNEL_RDMA_V1*
on signed/encrypted connections with INVALID_PARAMETER or ACCESS_DENIED,
buth the problem we currently see is a client security problem.

I'm not saying David's change is wrong, but I think it has nothing todo
with encrypted or signed traffic...
