would this require batching functionality?
I can work on adding batch endpoints to help facilitate.

@jdkent Nope, the backend already supports the ability to add multiple points at once. There is a case where multiple rows are added: if you try and paste at the bottom of the table, the table will automatically add multiple rows to accommodate the paste.

If we want to add the ability to right click on the table and insert multiple rows, I could add some sort of option in the right click menu that says "insert 4 rows" or something like that. Would that be an acceptable solution?

yeah, that could work, here is a solution chatGPT suggested for a variable number of rows (modified based on the example you posted):

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {

  function getData() {
    return [
      ['', 'Kia', 'Nissan', 'Toyota', 'Honda', 'Mazda', 'Ford'],
      ['2012', 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16],
      ['2013', 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16],
      ['2014', 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16],
      ['2015', 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16],
      ['2016', 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16]
    ];
  }

  var
    example3 = document.getElementById('example3'),
    settings3,
    hot3;

  settings3 = {
    data: getData(),
    rowHeaders: true,
    colHeaders: true
  };
  hot3 = new Handsontable(example3, settings3);

  hot3.updateSettings({
    contextMenu: {
      items: {
        "row_above": {
          name: 'Add rows above',
          callback: function(key, options) {
            var numRows = parseInt(prompt("Enter the number of rows to add above:", "1"));
            if (isNaN(numRows) || numRows < 1) {
              return;
            }
            hot3.alter('insert_row', hot3.getSelected()[0], numRows);
          }
        },
        "row_below": {
          name: 'Add rows below',
          callback: function(key, options) {
            var numRows = parseInt(prompt("Enter the number of rows to add below:", "1"));
            if (isNaN(numRows) || numRows < 1) {
              return;
            }
            hot3.alter('insert_row', hot3.getSelected()[0]+1, numRows);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  })

});
