Sounds overly complicated, I doubt this will have a widespread adoption

About 30% percent of traffic to Cloudflare uses HTTP/3 [0], so it seems pretty popular already. For comparison, this is 3× as much traffic as HTTP/1.1.

and then cloudflare converts that to http/2 or even 1.1 for the backend

"As of September 2024, HTTP/3 is supported by more than 95% of major web browsers in use and 34% of the top 10 million websites."

A lot of servers still don't support that.

Go http webserver doesn't support http 3 without external libraries. Nginx doesn't support http 3. Apache doesn't support http 3. node.js doesn't support http 3. Kubernetes ingress doesn't support http 3.

should I go on?

edit: even curl itself - which created the original document linked above - has http 3 just in an experimental build.

Yes and, at the same time practical support within programming language standard libraries & common tooling lags way behind: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/http3-quic-open-source-support-...

Also apparently slower over fast connections https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.09423

A decrease in throughput is a small price to pay for progress
