From my experience, at least around 10% CPU util (I have seen upto 30%) goes towards JSON wrangling that is inherently a part of microservices. I understand that there are better options like rpc etc but all these will inevitably be worse pure function calls.

It's the price to pay for loose coupling using an ubiquitous and widespread data interchange format that is extensively supported by a myriad of standard tools and, more importantly, is easy to read and debug.
