We might be talking a lot more about PRKI as it becomes compulsory, maybe 400G transit links will start being standard across the industry. If we're lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) maybe a whole new routing protocol will be introduced and rapidly gain popularity.
One interesting observation is that QUIC has the potential to open the floodgates for new purpose built transport protocols for things other than http that have their own requirements. It also shows that it can navigate the problem of pleading kernel code and firewalls that block unknown (it it) IP protocol numbers. It's my guess that those were what really sunk SCTP. Another thing that is coming up is that with increasingly high bandwidth, the TCP checksum is showing its age and we'd probably like to leverage crypto-grade hashes instead of being at the mercy of a 40 year old algorithm.
