Isn't it sufficient to note SMTP is a single channel client/server

I'll quote Section 1.1 as it says it better:
"SMTP is independent of the particular transmission subsystem and
requires only a reliable ordered data stream channel."

I see no technical problem on the server side with sending "552 Too

The (SMTP client) retry can be from another IP address.
