As stated in 
https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/pull/2235#issuecomment-449610469, I do not think that we should make this change.

Our experience from HTTP/2 tells us that it's unlikely that we would run out of the 8-bit number space, and therefore requiring every stack to decode type using varint seems like an unnecessary complexity.

Note that the endpoints would be required to decode the varint even if we decide to enforce minimum-sized encoding. This is because H3 allows use of frame IDs without negotiation.
