I would say, basically, try it and see.

Is your application tied to the presence of a GUI desktop environment?
Because that is the situation that D-Bus is designed for.

Otherwise, it’s easy enough to design your own client/server-type
protocol. For example, I added a very basic (not to say crude)
JSON-based one for monitoring progress in my scan_disks scripts
<https://github.com/ldo/scan_disks>.
