How to Design Better APIs
For those in Security Theatre of HTTP APIs, I found this also useful:

I Reviewed 1,000s of Opinions on gRPC
The next time I want to build an API, I will probably make use of https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp. I like working with Protobuf and having strongly-typed and well-defined messages, but gRPC is way, way too much. It's obviously a Google product, built for what Google needs.
Use Protobuf for messages, but just use HTTP for transport.
- How do I provide bot RPC and REST endpoints?
- Reasons to use gRPC/Protobuf?

A detailed comparison of REST and gRPC

goRPC or gRPC?
There is another: twirp

TypeScript type safety with GO
And addition to what was mentioned there are also webrpc and twirp.
-
Any good open source python projects that have used GRPC?
If you find one, you maybe also interested in twirp.

GraphQL making its way into a Twitter discussion about latency is not what I expected
Twitch has a great framework for it https://twitchtv.github.io/twirp/docs/intro.html

swaggo/swag alternative, but should generate OpenAPI 3.0 spec file
We have better experience with https://goa.design/ than with https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp

Connect-Web: It's time for Protobuf/gRPC to be your first choice in the browser
Take a look at Twirp (https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp) open sourced by TwitchTv. It's a lot lighter weight than gRPC. It does use Protobufs but addresses some of the concerns you mentioned, such as being able to test with JSON payloads, works over HTTP 1.1 and HTTP/2, good client libraries, and doesn't require a proxy.
They address your concerns in more detail in the Twirp release announcement (2018) - https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2018/01/16/twirp-a-sweet-new-rpc-f...
