Choosing a Blazor stack

I'm planning to make a self-hostable video sharing platform in ASP.NET with Blazor, but I'm not sure what model to pick.
I'd like to use EF Core and Identity
I want it to be as responsive as possible, so my initial plan was to use Blazor WASM with a controller-based API on the backend, but looking at the docs it doesn't seem to be a very "idiomatic" setup?

I am also wondering how to share data models like POST forms and queries between the WASM client and backend idiomatically.
I considered gRPC-web for the backend API, but that seems like an even more exotic of a setup with Identity, and I'd probably not be able to use cookie-based auth with it in a sane way.

For the record, I have experience with building web apps in Rust, but this is my first time doing it in .NET.
