The initial packets in QUIC are sent with min IPv6 MTU. During the initial exchange, the nodes send the maximum packet size that they might accept. QUIC does not specify the actual probing algorithm but does specify that PMTU is per path.

Several QUIC implementations do PMTUD already, building simple probes with QUIC's Ping and Padding frames. Probes are then encrypted, and sent as QUIC packets in UDP with segmentation turned off. If the probe packet is acknowledged, the applications know that this much MTU can be sent.

Note the encrypted part. Replacing such mechanisms by a clear text exchange is not desirable.
