There is a more fundamental reason to always use a CalDAV multi-get 
REPORT: caldav:calendar-data is not a WebDAV property and can be used 
*only* in the context of a CalDAV REPORT. From 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791#section-9.6

    Note:  The CALDAV:calendar-data XML element is specified in requests
           and responses inside the DAV:prop XML element as if it were a
           WebDAV property.  However, the CALDAV:calendar-data XML element is
           not a WebDAV property and, as such, is not returned in PROPFIND
           responses, nor used in PROPPATCH requests.


In practice of course, most servers will return "something" when 
calendar-data is asked for in a generic WebDAV REPORT or in a PROPFIND 
request. That "something" seems to be not so well defined in the case of 
Google.
