There is DTLS if you really want turnkey encryption for UDP, and it's implemented by openssl so it's straightforward enough to find an implementation. Not the most widely deployed protocol out there, to be sure, but if browsers wanted to make that the condition of use it would soon become widely implemented.

"openssl [...] straightforward" I don't think so. It's in the article; DTLS is too complex. The author wants something simple. Most implementations (eg. WebRTC) involve pulling in truck loads of C libs; it's insane. And then you want to support other clients? Good luck.

Not quite turnkey, but openvpn is essentially tls over udp with an ip tunnel on top
