Comment (by swissspidy):

 There are separate controllers for every post type, which definitely has
 its benefits. For queries across multiple post types, I would probably use
 batch requests. See https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/requests
 /#internal-requests.

 For #38920 we could create a new endpoint that only returns the needed
 data without additional overhead.
