I was on a project once that developed an IPC API based on remote procedure calls. The first thing they did was hide the RPCs, precisely for this reason. And the second thing they did was ditch the RPCs in favor of TCP/IP socket reads and writes, because once you hide them the RPCs don’t buy you anything but headaches. Bye bye DCE.
