Of more relevance is knowing what sort of message should be sent at

We're planning to use a ws-notification or ws-eventing endpoint

With or without authentication?

I ask because without is enormously easier because it means we can use
simple tooling. Since the messages aren't intended to be long or hold
secured information, it's quite possible to just use a UUID in the
endpoint URL to keep things "safe enough". (Also, I don't think there's
any plan at all to send out notifications "reliably"; authentication of
the messaging would be much simpler than that!)

Also, they're both heavyweight protocols with a whole infrastructure for subscription, etc. This means that there's a whole lot of stuff to do to support them even minimally (i.e., just the MUSTs from the specs) that isn't there right now. Time to support... longer than I might otherwise hope. (Sending a notify message is easy enough, but all the infrastructure for managing subscriptions is rather complex.)
