That's why you can run a second UDP instance on another port if you need that performance, and have the TCP one available as a fallback if that is blocked. Though to be honest the performance loss really depends on what you're doing on the VPN - if you need a low latency high bandwidth services, then UDP is the way to go. If you just use it for SSH, VDI, browsing, and file transfer I find the performance loss acceptable.
