There's a fairly straightforward calculus.

Can HTTP do X -> HTTP/2 MUST do X.

So, can HTTP/2 carry arbitrary amounts of data: yes.  The debate there
is about efficiency.  That's very different.

It's different with headers.  If we cap header size, then it becomes
literally impossible to make some requests.

I'd rather not re-open that debate, but I think that your concern with
transfer-encoding fixates on the means and not the capability.
