My understanding is that the cons of using SETTINGS only is that it
requires an additional roundtrip on connection establishment. I've heard
people oppose to the use of ALPN since they want to use both H2 and WS (and
possibly DNS?) on the same connection.

Personally, I think using both SETTINGS (or introducing a new frame) and
ALPN solves the shortcomings (and the reluctance). We could consider ALPN
as a method to specify the application protocol (e.g. HTTP or WS or DNS),
and use SETTINGS for permitting additional protocols to be coalesced.
