In addition to QUIC, KCP [1] is another reliable low-latency protocol that sits on top of UDP that might be interesting. And unlike RFC 9000/9001 (QUIC), encryption is optional. I haven't really seen it mentioned much outside of primarily China-focused projects, like V2Ray [2], but there is also some English information in their Git repo [2].
KCP uses a brute force congestion control algorithm that is unfair and inefficient. It is also poorly specified, which is probably why it is less commonly used outside circumvention circles.
