Yes, but ORTC doesn't provide:

1.  Low enough level to be the "ICE controller" (SLICE does by going lower)
2.  Access to encoder/decoders to enable sending media over QUIC.

In other words, breaking up IceTransport into lower level pieces and
RtpSender/RtpReceiver into lower-level pieces would provide even more
flexibility than ORTC does.
