Low level channels is always a bit messy for me. The ChannelExtensions library is the way to go for me, the code is much cleaner.

For streaming you should look into channels. The built in functionality is a bit too low level to be immediately useful, but if you use the ChannelExtensions library https://github.com/Open-NET-Libraries/Open.ChannelExtensions it's very easy to work with IAsynEnumerable and do things like batching, merging and transforming.
Open.ChannelExtensions v5.1.0: Batching can now have a timeout.
