The need for maintaining flow control still exists, both in QUIC and TCP, it doesn't just vanish.
Also, big(ish) routers are aware of TCP and can adapt as the load changes. They literally won't know what to do with a huge increase in UDP traffic.
I'd make an educated guess that mass deployment of QUIC will prove to be pretty awful until it's hacked to look more or less exactly like TCP with multiple connections, just with more overhead.
