It's not a Fedora thing, it's a Gnome thing. Fedora ships several other
display managers all of which do xdmcp just fine. The Gnome one is
primarily a docs/config problem. It does it, but the configuration is
undocumented almost every document on Gnome about gdm is stale, obsolete
or misleading.

The setup I run inside firewall is novnc + websockets proxy + Xvnc. I did
play with x11vnc but its basically impossible to make it do what I needed
even if you fiddle with all the config options.

The end result though is that pointing a vaguely modern web browser at the
box gives you a VNC session in browser.
