I don't have a preference for one or the other approach, but I'm not
sure how that would be much different to binding
view-inhibit-help-message.  The problem in both cases is that eglot and
jsonrpc internally make calls, either directly or indirectly, to
read-only-mode, which can be noisy.

I'd like read-only-mode to remain noisy (via view-read-only) in all
other cases, if possible, such as when visiting a read-only file.  How
can the use of set-message-function distinguish between calls to
read-only-mode from internal Eglot plumbing, vs those from
e.g. find-file?

The only clean approaches off the top of my head are:

a) inhibit these messages in one way or another around calls to
   gfm-view-mode/read-only-mode in eglot/jsonrpc;
b) disable view-read-only and/or enable view-inhibit-help-message
   in my configuration.
