No, it is quite possible to discover path MTU while transmitting UDP datagrams. It's just not well supported in many existing libraries and systems. Or if I'm wrong, what's missing from the ICMP packet returned by the router where MTU was discovered to keep it from being used for UDP? (Okay, this is a side issue for syslog-sec, except insofar as a misunderstanding could lead to the rejection of a transport protocol for the new protocol.)
