One of the great benefits (to me at least) of Tor is that it uses SSL-encrypted TCP connections to talk to the ORs. These are sometimes the only way out through a draconian firewall at an employer or other institution. Wouldn't switching to UDP as the underlying transport eliminiate this benefit?

This is why in the roadmap for the future of the Tor project, one of the
goals is to switch from TCP to UDP as the transport protocol for the
overlay connections.
