MQ shines in async calls/event delivery. gRPC / http2 / websockets / thrift is better for synchronous calls ?

With the ISO/oasis standard AMQP you can actually do synchronous calls without an intermediary. You also have 'direct' message routing capability with components like apache qpid dispatch router.

I can't see a reason why one would use gRPC/thrift and then having to build flow control, delivery guarantees and other messaging features yourself.

gRPC is built on http/2. I imagine it supports flow control and delivery guarantees already? It's just http/2 + protobuf
