I'm glad they are releasing version 1.0 but I feel that the maintainers of the Go gRPC team have a lot of work to rebuild trust.
I've seen backwards incompatible changes made by core go team members and core gRPC maintainers. Where the API is statically consistent but actually behaves in completely different broken ways. One of these was big enough that I said screw it and am moving that application away from gRPC.
I've seen multiple issues where the library you generate against ends up being incompatible with the library you link against at build time. They finally added a version check as part of the build/run step to prevent this from causing silent runtime errors.
Maybe in a year gRPC will actually be stable, maybe it has been over the last three months. I don't really know but I gave up, am moving my applications off of it and actively pushing for coworkers to do the same.
"Rebuild trust"? This is the first stable release. Every single release before than was called a "Development Release" (and Protobuf 3.0 only came out of beta less than a month ago), so of course they've been breaking things before now.
