execArgs = $0 $1 $2 ...
arguments for exec including the program name ($0), it means $0 = rsync
In your config file:
execArgs = -vvvv --daemon --server 
--config=/Users/dave/Desktop/stunnel-test/stunnel-rsyncd.conf .

I don’t understand what you want to achieve. Do you have the stunnel 
client and the stunnel server on the same computer and try to establish 
an encrypted connection between them on the localhost? For what purpose?

I always type the IP address to the stunnel server.

SSL state (accept): SSLv3 messages are from OpenSSL. They are vestiges 
of the past.

With the latest OpenSSL 1.1.0.:
