In theory WebTransport could solve both the problem of a UDP like transport (it deals with encryption and sessions as it's QUIC based, you could still do mosh like things inside it) and browser support... Sadly as https://web.dev/webtransport/#try-it-out says:
"The best way to experiment with WebTransport is to start up a compatible HTTP/3 server locally. (Unfortunately, a public reference server compatible with the latest specification is not currently available.)"
It's one of those things Google hasn't quite finished and it's unclear if they care enough to.
