Strengths & trade-offs

Where it shines

Contract-first protobuf schemas with generated, type-safe clients
HTTP/2 streaming (unary, server/client/bidirectional) built in
Far more efficient than JSON REST for internal service-to-service calls

Watch out for

Binary payloads are unreadable without tooling — browser support needs gRPC-Web/Connect
Proto evolution discipline (field numbers, deprecation) is a real maintenance cost

Editorial assessment — verify against your own requirements before committing.
