If a smaller MTU is faster, but it's larger than the 1200 byte UDP payload minimum, you could clamp to the performance optimal size for QUIC flows and let them figure it out with PLPMTUD if they implement it.

Ideally, clients can remember what the MTU was from last time they connected to a given hostname, and use that to speed future PMTU.  Similarly, clients could try to determine the max MTU that ever works for any non-local connection and use that as an upper bound.  But both of those are optimizations.

I agree with @martinthomson  that I can't think of any change that would help the situation that's in scope for QUIC v1.
