Yes, really, given the "only EAP-TLS" requirements above.

Both "without a certificate should be in a different VLAN" and "guest
VLAN for users without a certificate, or an unknown cert" are
impossible. EAP-TLS *requires* a valid certificate to authenticate.

Don't trust the outer ID. Look at the certificate data after it's been
validated, for example by using the check-eap-tls virtual server.
