That's not a question that can be answered without a crystal ball, so
how about I answer a different question.  If HTTP/2.1 turns out to be
incompatible, it will need to be negotiated using a new identifier.
If it turns out to be compatible, then we'll work something out.

I know that sounds a little unsatisfying, but it's the incompatible
changes that hurt, and we have discussed a way to avoid bad stuff from
happening when we need to do that.  Plotting out a path for compatible
changes doesn't really add value.  That said, feel free to propose
something.
