Not an expert, but..
QUIC is basically HTTP2 (bidi frames and keep-alive connections) over (TCP over UDP) with encryption builtin. The cool thing about QUIC also, is the ability to 'lower down' to the UDP layer and skip the control and encryption protocol if you need it. (I just dont know if they will extend this feature to the application level).
WebRTC is SRTP with UDP have hole punching et al. if you want so use UDP but with a whole problems of the UDP approach P2P world already taken care of.
WebSockets works over plain TCP.
QUIC is the more advanced of the protocols and it will probably "take over the world" with time, but it has yet to prove itself.
It probably can be a good fit to the cases where the WebRTC is being used for, but i dont now if Chrome will be ambitious enough to let developers mess with the building blocks of QUIC. If not, it will just become a sink to HTTP3 (a no small feat anyway).
