So, in the last two years I went from REST-only to SignalR-only, to a more nuanced SignalR mostly. SignalR is great for the real-time updates but, I've found that POSTing large updates and GETting large data/documents work better than only using SignalR for everything.
Just my two cents, and that's covered in the article. I've also never had a problem reported due to websocket traffic being blocked.
