Thank you for the patches.

Are there any expected benefits from HTTP/3 being used as a 
protocol to upstream servers?

Sure.  I'm very much against the idea of mixing different upstream 
protocols in a single protocol module.

(OTOH, there are some uncertain plans to make proxy module able to 
work with other protocols based on the scheme, such as in 
"proxy_pass fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000;".  This is mostly irrelevant 
though, and might never happen.)
