You can... but that is a very new extension.

But even then, your mess just started...

first make sure both sides support the same crypto/signature/hash
combination... because there is no mandatory one for IPsec.

Oh, and make sure they support the same IKE(v2) variant... because
this protocol has a lot degrees of freedom, again without a mandatory
base setting.

And lets not start about the insanity that "IPsec transport mode +
IPIP tunnel = IPsec tunnel mode".

We could throw out at least half of the options of IPsec without
loosing any feature.
