Hmm I don't know yet, this makes me think. I'm realizing that very often
the LB will not decide on the server from the initial packet if it starts
to take certain elements in consideration, so it may be needed to pass the
server identifier later. In the most basic DSR case it will work though.
But above there's provision for changing the connection ID later so that
could possibly work to some extents.

I need more time to think about it and I'm lagging behind on QUIC design,
so I'm mostly focusing on general architectural points that I want to be
sure we don't forget to address.
