But something more modern that doesn’t have the encoding/decoding penalty of Protobuf would be better (eg cap’n’proto but there’s a bunch now in this space).

Not that you are wrong, but in the real world this is not significant for most uses. If it is significant you are doing too much IPC. Or maybe using protobuf where you should be making a direct function call. Fix the architecture either way. (similar to how I can make bubble sort faster with careful machine code optimization, but it is hard to make modern tim sort slower in the real world no matter how bad the implementation is)
