Well, outside of some very exotic extensions (none are defined to date,
and I'm having problems even imagining what such things would actually
do), it would work in TLS 1.3 Editor's Draft (since it only ever uses
21, 22 and 23[1]).

Future versions of TLS are another matter...

And even if there was some extension to omit the version from record
header, it would still work (the demuxer would however need to be
aware of that extension).

 
[1] For comparision, TLS 1.2 uses 21-23 and also 20 and in presence of
certain (infamous) extension, 24.
