I can vouch for grpc-gateway being a solid solution for JSON-based access. I hope this functionality gets rolled into grpc-web.
If you want bidi streaming support for JSON you can add https://github.com/tmc/grpc-websocket-proxy. IDT grpc-gateway supports fetch-based streaming currently, but it likely will as soon as browsers do. Long term, I really hope grpc-web grows JSON support.
