QUIC, Connection IDs and NAT

QUIC has Connection IDs independent from IP.  This was done to 
make it easier to move from one IP network to another while keeping 
connections active, as most here will know.

Does the existence of Connection IDs separate from IP mean that 
the host/IP contention ratio in CGNAT can be higher?  IE, can a single 
CGNAT device provide Internet access for a greater number of end-users?

And if so, does this reduce demand on IPv4 resources?

It's ok, I'm wearing a fire-resistant suit with self-contained breathing 
apparatus as I type this.
