Unlikely, since TCP + TLS implemented over UDP is a better description of QUIC.
Neither TCP nor UDP were designed when you had to assume the internet to be a battle ground which pitted hackers, police forces, nation states against each other, and you. In such an environment it's not at all surprising to hear Comcast was attacking their own customers using bit torrent or competing video streaming by sending them fake TCP RESETS.
But TLS on the other hand - that's exactly the environment TLS is designed for. They are not going to find it so each to screw with QUIC, because TLS is baked into its DNA.
