Furthermore, in the case where I'm using protobufs as a necessary evil of grpc, what's the best alternative here?

protos are not necessary for grpc. You can use whatever payload format you want to use.

HTTP2 is just the transport, there would be a ton of machinery to implement in each language in the stack.
