There have been various discussion in PHL about spreading a secret among
devices so they can authenticate each other.

A super cool idea is a specifically formatted file on a USB drive,
inserted into each system in turn.  While we might be pretty sure
the USB drive (and file system and connector, etc.) is out of scope, the
format for that secret file might be well in scope

Doesn't that assume the device has a USB connector and can mount a stick as a drive? While that's common on PCs, it's not on home router boxes AFAICT. Many have no USB at all.
