Additionally, I feel that an endpoint SHOULD (not a MUST because it’s unenforceable) respond with an immediate CONNECTION_CLOSE of its own, so the peer can use that as a signal of acknowledgement and immediately go away, without waiting the full draining period. But, I know I’m not in the majority with that opinion.

It can still be useful on short lived connections to update the congestion window cache as well as loss and bandwidth estimates.
