I agree with @kazuho that exchanging H3 settings in transport parameters has appealing benefits, there is however the downside that client transport parameters are not encrypted, and this could therefore be used for fingerprinting.

That said we may be somewhat off topic, as this issue is about 8-bit vs varint for h3 frame types. Without going into the details discussed in this thread, there seems to be interest in allowing uncoordinated extensions, and varints allow those at a very small implementation cost.
