I'm struggling to see what the problem statement that is unique to the

That certificates can be large is not new information, it was a prime
motivator for RFC 7924 [1] and RFC 8879 [2].
Operators can, of course, experiment with new optimal ways of doing
things. The broader IETF community is likely interested in the outcome
of such experiments. Since QUIC version 1 uses TLS, any changes that
stand to improve a QUIC handshake would likely be applicable to TLS
too. So the concept of replacing current TLS mechanisms with the DNS
doesn't seem to be something the QUIC WG should be leading. Should
such work identify QUIC protocol design evolution or extension, then
it could be suitable for WG consideration.
I'm not asking this working group to do anything. Just socializing
something that generated a lot of discussion on the IETF list that might
be of interest to the Quic community.
