Netstandard 2.0 system.io.pipelines peek implementation

.NET2.0

I have an existing project using an interface, which cannot be easily changed, declaring a method called Peek().
The original implementation of Peek looked at the first element of internal List<byte>, filled in by a socket, byte by byte,and returned the byte.

I have been experimenting with Pipelines and wanted a corresponding Peek() that would return the first byte of a PipeReader.Reader with no memory allocations and also not disturb/remove anything from the Reader pipe, i.e., you can call it all day long and it would return the same byte.

After much Googling, I didn't find anything, except that it should be possible.

My code, which works is below. My question is, can it be improved?
Thanks in advance for any advice, Oz
Code follows:

public byte Peek()
{
    ReadResult rr;
    var pipeHasData = readerPipe.Reader.TryRead(out rr);  // try to get a buffer in rr
    if (!pipeHasData) throw new ArgumentException("Peek called on empty pipeline");
    SequencePosition seqp = rr.Buffer.GetPosition(0);     // get sequence position to start of buffer
    readerPipe.Reader.AdvanceTo(seqp);                    // reset pipe position to beginning of buffer
    var roSeq = rr.Buffer.Slice(0, 1);                    // obtain ReadOnlySequence of 1 byte, not indexable
    var roSpan = roSeq.First.Span;                        // obtain ReadOnlySpan from sequence's ReadOnlyMemory (.First)
    return roSpan[0];                                     // return first byte of the Span, which is indexable
}

What I have tried:

Googling for a solution, but all documents on the web do not supply an actual implementation of how to do t this.
