The RPC interface in Bitcoin Core, and others, is not great for this
because it exposes a lot of functionality that isn't necessary and
introduces risks. For example the `gettxoutsetinfo` can start a very
intensive CPU and disk I/O task. There are several others, for example:
`stop`, `addnode`, `clearbanned`, `setban`, and etc. Furthermore reading
full raw blocks isn't very efficient with JSON. Electrum servers (e.g
electrs) for example read blocks from disk instead and use the RPC
interface to sync headers. Though, Electrum servers also have a risk of
DoS with addresses that have many transactions, see the `--txid-limit`
option [2].
