Yes, I think consistency is a stronger argument than possible implementation efficiency here.

Not in our implementation, no. But then the token-based paging wouldn't be any more efficient either, because in both of these cases our client wants the whole set – no paging required! (In the case of calendar, it actually is paging it in by date range, but in JMAP terms that's a series of different CalendarEventList queries, each of which is fetched in its entirety and not paged in by the client).
