For smaller datasets (100s of thousands of rows) I don’t see why you wouldn’t just use json columns with generated column/index where needed

Regardless of the number of rows, it doesn't really matter, there are useful cases for where you might be consuming json directly, so instead of parsing it out into a schema for your database, why not just keep it raw and utilize the tools of the database.

It's a feature, not a replacement.
