Description
HTTP/3 servers are available with Reactor Netty 1.3 series and Eclipse Jetty 12 series. Tomcat and Undertow do not support it yet, at least as I'm aware.
Consider if and how to support HTTP/3 within Spring Boot, similar to HTTP/2.
One thing to note is, since Spring Boot wraps Netty Server, is that two servers have to be started - one TCP listener, another UDP listener. See issue https://github.com/reactor/reactor-netty/issues/3913

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing Spring Boot's existing HTTP/2 support and the referenced Reactor Netty 1.3 and Jetty 12 HTTP/3 material; done requires a decided support approach that accounts for the separate TCP and UDP listeners.
