leastconn strategy should be fairly easy to implement.
I'm adding it to my TODO list:

I guess what you want is something like:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/udtgate/
IMHO it is a very bad idea to add this functionality in stunnel. 
According to the KISS principle it should rather be implemented as a
separate proxy.

SSL/TLS requires a data stream as its transport layer.  SCTP only
provides message-based communication without strict data ordering.  Of
course it is possible to emulate data stream on top of SCTP, but this
would defeat all the advantages of SCTP.
