We've been having fun with multiple PDUs in a single IP frame with SCTP for years.  While there's room for improvement it's worked pretty well.

By the way usually a tunnel encapsulates a single packet. I'm not aware
of any other protocol multiplexing at the IP level. I would assume
Wireshark requires some replumbing to handle that. Something like TFS
being treated as a framing layer. Just food for thought.
