This is a tunneled scenario. By definition, you cannot not sensibly use it draw conclusions about network layers.

Would it be very wrong to consider QUIC a new type of layer 4 protocol encapsulated in another one (UDP) for compatibility with NATs and other middle boxes?

SCTP is also usually encapsulated in UDP when used in WebRTC data channels, yet I've never heard it being described as anything other than a transport layer protocol.
