TLS dropped the facilities necessary to do that.
Ultimately you'll need a vhost for stuff that requires client certs and
other vhosts that do not.
The user experience of having a site request client certs when you don't
have one to give is really bad in some browsers.

Client certs really kind of are the unloved step child of web
authentication.
