I've spoken about this offline with @martinduke. I think that using a QUIC packet for this is not necessary at all and might be detrimental in some cases. For example, there is a circular dependency to talk to a particular server to assign it a connid when it doesn't currently have a connid assigned to it. 

I think this will open up a can of worms though. When we add a packet type for a lb packet, we might want to add a packet type for a health check packet, etc. and other use cases which adds up to several bits.
