There isn't much point in wierd algo solutions to 1% packetloss, and most people are living under 5% most of the time. I would say on an 80/20 class decision most of us either have layer2 loss in the link to the provider, and then not much loss, or have some corner case of congestion like zoom inter-continentally. Remember, 75% of content now comes from a DC within 1 AS hop of your ISP. For non-western economies reliant on mobile IP, there is a level of loss and congestion being seen in the radio packet layer but that layer is usually dealing with it. Starlink has worked out how to manage it's TCP loss issues despite steering dishy between sats in orbit in a 15 second timeslot model. I'm not trying to dismiss this work: I don't understand the use-case because from my perspective (admittedly in the western economy, but in asia and exposed to the other kind of internet for less developed places) this level of sustained packetloss isn't usual, And when it is, the link layer is usually doing something like FEC to take care of it.
