Can you explain more about how the negatives you mention weigh up against the positives? There isn't a net benefit somewhere? If not, can something be changed to give a better balance like a hybrid solution?

Personally I believe that the majority of positive caters to privacy. That being said there are other positive things about IETF QUIC that will, likely, play into new functionality over time.
