   On the struct column front, returning a struct column is totally fine right now (making a struct from R is a bit more complicated though). 
   
   However, right now more likely than not that struct will bet automatically turned in to a tibble (or at least that will be attempted) when pulling it into R. [ARROW-13149](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13149) aims to make it so that structs will return as named lists instead of always being converted into tibbles automatically.
   
   All of this is to say, I think it would be totally fine for this to a return a struct right now (so long as it doesn't return something super bad when attempting to be turned into a tibble) and so long as we are ok with the R side of what the results come out as (hopefully) changing soon
