varlink is useful for cases where dbus is not available — early boot, or as part of the supporting infra for the dbus broker daemon itself. dbus is the preferred solution for the case where we want to expose a service to many client, have unprivileged clients communicating with a system daemon, and possibly do privilege escalation using polkit. dbus seems very much to be the right choice for dnf.
