Setting up TLS in gRPC is annoying if the alternative is using an already-existing HTTPS endpoint.

That sounds like a problem with GRPC not protobufs.

How is it annoying? To be fair, we’re fronting our gRPC service with a AWS LB that terminates TLS (so our gRPC is plaintext), so we don’t deal with certs as direct dependencies of our server.
