(I'm very sorry I have to ask this.)

What's the best way to use gRPC within MS Excel?  One solution appears to be to write your code in C# and call that using Excel-DNA.   Is there any better solution I should consider?

You might consider using GRPC web and writing an excel add-in with the JavaScript APIs. I haven't personally tried it, but it seems like they should work together and would support non-windows platforms.

Using gRPC C# in MS Excel likely won't work because the gRPC C# implementation uses a native component that might not work under Excel. 
But the Excel-DNA solution you're mentioning might work - you can try it and report back your results.
