Thanks for catching this.

I have not, personally. I feel like it would be a waste of time at this point,
unless a logical problem can be identified.

This RFC is a superset of the short array syntax RFC, in my opinion.

We use it a lot. This grep is from the root of the Gimme Bar code (my work
project):
$ grep -ir 'StdClass' * | wc -l

You've just stated that you don't use this sort of thing very often (which is
fine, but users who don't use this very often are not my intended target
audience for this RFC).
In my experience, users who DO interact with systems that speak JSON (or a
JSON-like syntax) find this very useful, and have been wanting it for a long
time. I have anecdotal evidence of this, but I could draw up something more
concrete if that's what is required to get this to pass.
