This is one of the really frustrating things about AWS... you have no sense of their product roadmap. My guess is the biggest customers will be drivers of HTTP 2.x support for ELB, for example a Netflix.

On that note though, can you pump HTTP 2.0 traffic through a TCP listener? I haven't tried.

Yes, we're using that right now with Proxy Protocol to see the original requester. When using a TCP listener, you're of course free to use any TCP protocol of your choosing, including HTTP/2.

A consequence is that you have to terminate TLS at the webserver instead of at the load balancer.

If I'm not incorrectly informed AWS is using a modified HAProxy. HAProxy does not support HTTP/2 yet so yeah, it will probably take some time.
