I'd say for most use cases, TCP will be fine for a long time. QUIC has two things going for it: The Google (web) use-case where you load a bazillion resources for your website in parallel, and want to employ some manually determined prioritization of what should load first, ie. the parts that make the site look complete before some script doing random things in the footer. And ads.
The other advantage is that thanks to being based on UDP, you get a STUNable version of TCP, which is really great for p2p apps like Syncthing.
For making sense in the data center, or for delivering bulk data, QUIC just doesn't have a killer feature really, compared to the ages old battle-tested TCP.
