With NETCONF, one DSCP will apply to single TCP session.  So there is no issue.

For RESTCONF, there is no requirement that there is a single TCP session between publisher and subscriber.  Where there are different DSCPs requested, a different logical connection can be established should the publisher want to concurrently support several DSCPs.

I was responding to your point that 'I don't think anyone has suggested HTTP2 for dynamic subscriptions'.   Up through draft-ietf-netconf-restconf-notif v08, the benefits of HTTP2 for dynamic subscriptions was explicitly laid out.
