Yeah, the format independence is amazing. In Pernosco we use bincode for IPC payloads and when we want to log IPCs we just serialize the payloads to JSON with zero developer effort.
Have you considered using a zero-copy serialization format like capnproto, Flat Buffers, or rkyv for binary IPC payloads? Or did you decide that getting that last increment of performance wasn't worth the trouble of using something less easy than serde?
