OpenSSL in unstable does not support TLS 1.2 either. I think that the
solution is for a future OpenSSL version (maybe TLS 1.2 is supported in
1.1 but I am not sure).

Yes, you are right. Your advice still works since without TLS 1.2 the
only mitigation available is to fallback to RC4 and that's what happen
with the provided configuration.
