What you are proposing:

function isFlowControlled(frame) {
  return frame.type === 'DATA';
}

becomes:

var firstHeadersDone = false;
function isFlowControlled(frame) {
  if (frame.type === 'DATA') {
    return true;
  }
  if (!firstHeadersDone) {
    if (frame.type === 'HEADERS' || frame.type === 'CONTINUATION') {
      firstHeadersDone = frame.flags.END_HEADERS;
    }
    return false;
  }
  return frame.type === 'HEADERS' || frame.type === 'CONTINUATION';
}

Or something like that.  That's not particularly straightforward.
Such complexity requires justification.
