If I disable secure connections (instead of setting to"Preferred") on the server, then all the clients are forced to disable TLS. Can this be disabled on Rasplex end?

No need to disable it ‘manually’, Rasplex initially tries a secure connection, if one is not found it automatically drops to an insecure connection.

But this means that it will always use encryption if it is available, which is something I would like to avoid with my RPi1 without disabling encryption in PMS.
Any particular reason why you want to avoid using it?

I understand your issue, as I have the same myself.
The RPi1 devices are simply not powerful enough to play high bitrate media without stutters while simultaneously decrypting the incoming media stream. It works fine for lower bitrates but causes problems above 10Mbps, even though the same RPi1 can play more than 20Mbps when not using secure connections.
(The precise limits depend not only on bitrates, but also on CODEC encoding complexity.)
Unfortunately there’s not at present any way to configure this as we would prefer.
Disabling secure connections only at the client end is not supported by any Plex client, to my knowledge.
So for the time being the only method available is to disable secure connections entirely in PMS.
This is what I do too for now, though I hope an option can be added to both OpenPHT and RasPlex eventually, allowing us to control this at the client end.
