The RFCs for QUIC (RFC 9000 and RFC 9001) mandate encryption.
Some random stackoverflow answer[1] claims there are implementations that ignore this and allow "QUIC without encryption", but I'd argue that it's not QUIC anymore -- in my opinion it'd be harmful to implement in the kernel.

- MerManMaid 3y agoPer the RFC, QUIC is literally defined as a transport protocol... Literally the first sentence of the overview is: "QUIC is a secure general-purpose transport protocol." More importantly, QUIC literally bakes in TLS into how it works which is a far cry away from replacing it. "The QUIC handshake combines negotiation of cryptographic and transport parameters. QUIC integrates the TLS handshake [TLS13], although using a customized framing for protecting packets."
