I might argue that statistically ignoring a packet goes against the goal of stateless reset; i.e. provide a signal that the connection has been reset *as early as possible, before timeout happens*.

IMO, the method to fix the issue should be either remember the peer address (as has been suggested by @MikeBishop in https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/1443#issuecomment-398842429) or to limit the size (as I have suggested in https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/1443#issuecomment-398915066)
