Onion Routing is designed to have multiple layers of encryption. And the double-encryption of TLS then Tor (whether over TCP or QUIC) is beneficial because it guarantees the integrity and authenticity of the whole connection. And it provides defence-in-depth against intrusion attempts. You might have to redo some of Tor's security proofs if you want to disable the outermost encryption layer. At the very least, you'll have to justify changing from TCP and TLS to QUIC without TLS, which is harder than TCP and TLS to QUIC and TLS. Why not leave it on?
