EAP-over-CoAP is probably a better choice than over PANA :-)

But, it seems to me that it ought to be EAP-over-DTLS-over-CoAP,
with the result being creation of a CoAPS context.

In either case, if you are really doing EAP-TLS, then you wind up with
a ridiculous number of layers.

One can then run EST or something similar over it.

Your document seems to intersect with a bunch of other work, I hope to get
back to you with some additional comments.
