The RSS is different thing (that is part of the config).
This just proxies the start/stop from the secondary to be done in the primary.
RSS is a function of the hardware (NIC driver) and should be the same in both
primary and secondary. It is still the case that configuration needs to be done
in primary, although that could also be proxied.
