You would need a proxy to convert the WebSocket connection back to normal byte stream and proxy that to the target.

  Yes, but what is the use case? Why cannot you modify your backend to accept Websocket handshake? After that, it's a normal byte stream.

    Because you don't always control the backend used by client apps. The "Use cases" section provides examples of this.

    as stated in readme, it's for legacy services that would require WS proxy.

It seems like this would not do anything to address the UDP portion of the proposal.
