I think dropbear is a bit exceptional here, as both server and client
are in the one package.

There are some scenarios where there's no point starting a SSH server
(in my case, it's because there's no persistent storage, so no
persistent host keys). However, I'd still like a ssh/scp client to be
available.

But isn't something that will go upstream and be available in a
defconfig, right?
