> Clients are initialised with Key & ID - We advocate for keys to not be hardcoded

They're public facing (used by clients), so it doesn't really matter if they're hardcoded or not. I can rip them out of the dom/api calls/whatever.

For the second part, https covers you alone.

Auth tokens may start to pick at the puzzle, but at that point it's not obvious what I'm gaining if I have to bake custom authorization and authentication somewhere in any case?

You have a tough battle here - the security risk is huge. I don't personally see a value add yet, especially with Twilio/Stripe who have some of the lowest cost integration in the industry.

Not impossible to succeed in the arena, but the level of abstraction doesn't feel like the right fit yet
