Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.28 release, and here's the proposed changelog entry from the documentation team:

Before MySQL Workbench 8.0.27, a connection using SSL attempted to
establish an encrypted connection by default if the server supported
encrypted connections or to fall back to an unencrypted connection if an
encrypted connection could not be established. The default behavior was
changed in version 8.0.27 to always require SSL encryption, which could
cause a connection test to fail if the server did not support encryption.
In addition, the settable values for the Use SSL field no longer included
No or If available. 

This fix restores the previous default behavior (If
available) and also restores the full set of Use SSL values for
establishing encrypted and unencrypted connections.

Thank you for the bug report.
