If you, for example, connect to two external routers and your certname is the same on both, using the hostname to distinguish is better, since the other way would result in a name collision. (Two certs named the same but from different CAs and with different contents)

Also, some server modes do not have a client cert since they use external auth.

Seems fine the way it is to me.
