Our main hinderance with gRPC was that several disparate teams had strange issues with the fairly opaque runtime. The “batteries included” approach made attempts to debug the root causes quite difficult.
As a result of the above, we have been exploring twirp. You get the benefits of using protobufs for defining the RPC interface, but without quite as much runtime baggage that complicates debugging issues that arise.
