I think this whole sentence should be rephrased, it sounds rather awkward. Especially the term "suffer" sounds wrong to me. IMO it would mean that the rpc module could potentially become worse in terms of scalability and/or performance because of the introduction of erpc (unless it did implement its functionality using erpc).

On a side note, I believe the correct use of "wise" in this context (meaning "in terms of") would be as a suffix, "scalabilitywise" and "performancewise" (which isn't too easy on the eye, either). When used as a single word or tacked on with a hyphen, the meaning of "wise" is "knowledgeable about" (as in "wisdom"). I may be wrong here, though, I'm not a linguist 😅

Thanks for your pull request. I agree with @Maria-12648430 that the entire sentence should be rephrased. I've opened #9948 to rephrase not only the sentence, but the entire note.
