viewer count from eventsub
Either as a topic fired on update or added to "channel.update".
Advantages to its own event will reduce polling during a live stream and allow twitch to schedule when it sends out events as it needs to keep things in balance instead of having to contact 3rd party developers.

Many times, "viewer_count" API response field doesn't change during several minutes (due to caching?). However, when you're watching a stream you can see how this data is refreshed each 20-25 seconds.
Benefit: Increase the precision of apps that use this field
