TCP is fine and isn't going anywhere. QUIC is an overengineered contraption that only exists to serve more ads. SSH doesn't need it. Postgres doesn't need it. Nobody needs QUIC except Google.

QUIC is not without defects, I'm with you there, but almost almost any "web-scale" company dealing with a lot of cellular connections would disagree with your statement. Uber, Verizon, Cloudflare, Meta, Fastly, among others, some of which have reported very significant latency reductions.

SSH's "master" mode connection sharing would benefit from QUIC / HTTP/3 head of line blocking elimination just as much as browsers would. Run a heavy rsync using connection sharing with an interactive session and you'll notice the interactive sessions latency suffering noticably.
Long-lived SSH connections would benefit from QUIC / HTTP/3 session survivability.
