That's worse than no TLS: it gives a false-sense of security while actually securing nothing. All because of that "allow_self_signed".
"Allow self-signed" is literally just "trust anyone, no matter what". The entire point of certificates is to delegate trust. The verifying party (a client, in this case) trusts an authority, and the authority trusts and vouches for the authenticatee. "Allow self-signed" allows absolutely anyone to be the "authority". Instead, you should be telling to verifying party exactly who is the authority, which, in this case, could be the certificate you created.
