get_file has no checksums, so I'd say no, it's probably not worth it.
Others might disagree, though.

If the API allows early cancellation (i.e. the consumer function can
cancel), then it's necessary. Otherwise, it's overkill. I don't think
your current API allows early cancellation, nor is it really important
for it to do so.

I'm not quite sure of the sense of this question. If we don't put that
support into the protocol now, we could certainly add it later while
preserving backward compatibility, at the expense of a little work. But
I don't foresee us ever needing it.
