Well, the cassandra-cli uses the thrift protocol, so it will not work is you use start_rpc: false. Whether you start the binary protocol server has no real impact as Cassandra is fine starting both server (as long as you don't set the same port for both for obvious reasons). Obviously, if you point cassandra-cli to the port used by the binary protocol, that won't work either.
