Modern HTTP has been made fairly efficient, especially with HTTP/2. I think the overhead is more in the data formats that are in common use, like XML/JSON, but with adoption of GRPC which combines Protobuf with HTTP/2 I think a lot of this is going to be more efficient. It's not as efficient as it could be, but we're also getting a lot of features and functionality for it too.
