S2n-QUIC (Rust implementation of QUIC)
CUBIC is a good baseline congestion controller. It's the default one that is being used in Linux, so it should provide adequate performance for a wide range of use-cases. Plus it's not so "olde" - the specification is actively improved (see https://github.com/NTAP/rfc8312bis), and the implementation of the algorithm inside s2n-quic even lead to the discovery of spec gaps that had been fixed as part of this effort.
Like most other QUIC libraries the congestion controller is also pluggable. So if a different one makes more sense for a particular use-case, it could be integrated in the future.

From Fuzzing to Proof: Using Kani with the Bolero Property-Testing Framework
Packet parsing is a great application for this type of testing. We've used bolero/Kani in a bunch of s2n-quic's codec implementations - example.

Announcing s2n-quic 1.0
It's definitely a valid question, with there being a lot of great QUIC implementations out there. We do believe, though, s2n-quic has a lot to offer with a high level of security, testing, performance, and features. Given that s2n-quic will eventually be integrated into AWS Services, we ultimately need direct ownership of fundamental libraries like s2n-quic, s2n-tls, etc. to be able to maintain that high level of security and performance for our customers.
