practical-aspnetcore
Practical samples of ASP.NET Core 8.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0, 3.1, 2.2, and 2.1,projects you can use. Readme contains explanations on all projects.
Here’s a decade-old example which probably still works to this day: https://github.com/Const-me/EsentSerialize/tree/master/Demos/ClientServer
In the later versions you could avoid almost all the XML mess by configuring all of the settings in code. The experience is pretty close to gRPC imo, one plus point is you don't need to learn how to write proto classes. Though you could use protobuf-net for a similar experience. I'm kinda hopeful with CoreWCF, they aim to support more transports (including event gRPC) in the future along with queues other than MSMQ and slowly evolve from being too SOAP specific. There's a lot of potential still for WCF to be a transport agnostic framework that ecompass a lot of transports.
