This is such a non-issue. All you have to do is look at how successful RESTful APIs have been this decade. It's easy to consume, which is really the number one priority if you actually want anyone to use your API. Anyone who has built an API will tell you that REST gets you 80% of the way, and if you need some transactional business logic the world will not end if you add a few non-REST custom endpoints.
