This is kind of puzzling. Fingerprinting (among other things) render to a canvas, and then send the resulting pixel data over the wire. So yes, fingerprinting requires sending stuff over the wire, but it also depends on running arbitrary code and rendering behavior.

Fingerprinting with canvas depends your GPU and font installed. Don't think there are any way out without hurting the rendering performance servery..
