For our purposes we can probably assume that the UDP is lower than TCP

Real-time traffic, including online games, VoIP, videoconferencing, relies
heavily on UDP, if only to avoid TCP head-of-line blocking.

Huh? Head of line blocking?

If NAT vendors had not assumed that DNS was the only usage of UDP, we would probably have overall much better NAT in the real-world today. Please do not
make the same mistake.

Obviously UDP is used for many things, but everything that you mention keeps a UDP "session" going for some time unless I'm very much mistaken. DNS queries on the other hand use a different port for pretty much every new packet.
