I also went this route and came to the very same conclusions. Cap'n proto for fast reading, SHM for shared data, simple short messaging, just everything in C.
My only problem is MacOS with its too small default SHM buffers, you need to enhance them. Most solutions need a reboot, but a simple setter is enough. Like sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216
