which could use HTTP/2 or HTTP/3

and HTTP/2 for the localhost (or unix socket) gateway<->app step to provide e.g. WebTransport support

Sure I was responding to the context as I understood it here which was listening on HTTP/3 as an application rather than a service mesh layer. HTTP/3 can definitely be a choice for service mesh or some sort of overlay. Personally if I were setting up a new cloud/DC today I'd probably just use ZeroTier (or Tailscale) and let the overlay deal with encryption while I just have my sources and destinations do IP based filtering.
