I think the point gRPC is trying to make with HTTPS only, is that there's very few scenarios where using HTTP make sense for any web-based API. This includes APIs that aren't publicly accessible.

letsencrypt.org greases the wheels for deployments, with very little overhead.

I have always known about let's encrypt, but hadn't put two and two together in my head. You may have just changed my preferred interservice communication option :-)

Sweet! Ping me if you run into any issues. I've used it for Windows Servers a handful of times.
