The thing is, if you run Istio there’s a standard setting for getting it to do the TLS for you. Indeed, half the features of istio wouldn’t work if you did the TLS yourself. So you kind of need plaintext protocols even if you’re only running them internally within a single (logical) machine.

Istio would not only do TLS, but would also do QUIC for you in the scenario you describe.

You're right, but it would provide a permanent use for regular old TCP connections (which means the answer to the article's question would still be no).
