Give me /events, not webhooks
If the webhook events are coming at some sort of a brisk pace, the sender well may be able to reuse an already-open connection. And if they're rather infrequent, is the efficiency or latency likely to be a significant concern?

Yes, it is - latency-sensitive but infrequent events are an extremely common use case.

In the general sense, yes, but your assertion rings false in my opinion when the situation presents only a choice between webhook or long polling.

I don't understand your statement? Rare but latency-sensitive events are a very common use case for webhooks or long polling.
