JSON messages in a compressed websocket stream are surprisingly tiny. Bigger than compressed protobuf packets but not by much, and much smaller than uncompressed protobuf packets.

Yeah, which is probably fine in most cases but sometimes not (maybe the overhead is just 1.5x, but if you're doing thousands of messages per second (not the usual API<>browser communication for web users)) and then it matters. Again it's trade-offs and highly contextual.
