If that was an issue we would have definitely gone rid of SIP and H.323, FTP and other protocols that don’t cope well with NAT and are decades old. Well, to be fair, we probably SHOULD get rid of SIP and H.323

Modern networking looks funny. UDP as a baseline protocol. Wireguard and HTTPS/3 are built over UDP. Custom protocols are built over HTTPS/3. I think that it's good and simple suite of protocols.
