Review Comment:
   `get_dag_runs` is slow and makes a much bigger query.  the problem with the 
public API is it has know clue what it's trying to do, no clue why it is 
serving the request, or what the client is really after.  so it just gives 
everything.  so you load the full object along with referenced info like dag 
run notes and dag versions etc and it's just very bloated.
   
   so, it's doing stuff you don't need, and as a result it's slow and 
inefficient.
   
   performance is not the only issue here.  you also have coupling.  when many 
things are using the same endpoint, you have to meet all the needs of all the 
things that are using that endpoint. which generally means you have to do 
_more_ in that endpoint.  which means it's going to be bloated and slower than 
necessary.  also, more of a pain to change.  or, you add more and more 
configuration to make it return different kinds of info based on different 
parameters.  this just gets more and more complicated and i do not think it 
ends up simpler to maintain than distinct endpoints.
   
   i think the suggestion to combine `get_latest_run_info` and `get_latest_run` 
is much more promising than the suggestion to continue to use the public API
