Adding hidden data to the request seems counter to the desire for a schema driven rpc. I guess it's a matter of taste whether some data is pollution or simply explicit. You're sending data that the service may or may not be concerned with whether its in the header or the body or some other side channel.
Maybe my reaction is a question of purity. I don't really see why one would think a request body should be in the schema but we should leave other data out of the schema. Wouldn't every single argument point to consistency?
I like gRPC and what it gives you. I personally would like that same explicit schema and type safety to apply to my tracing as well. Its interesting to me that others would draw a line.
