Would you say that QUIC might not be worth it for video content as it's the transferal of large files over the network. Whilst QUIC shines when you have a lot of small assets that you want to fetch as quickly as possible? Like could we have a system where we choose http 2 or 3 depending on the type of data?

Whilst QUIC shines when you have a lot of small assets that you want to fetch as quickly as possible? The way video is generally served now is actually as a large number of dynamically-selected chunks of the video and associated audio. QUIC makes perfect sense for YouTube/Netflix/Vimeo type VOD, and especially the MPEG-DASH style of streaming.
