I did some testing with hiera and had no problem with pure yaml, pure json, or a mix of the two. Yes, JSON is more or less a subset of YAML. I don't recall at the moment what prevents JSON from being a complete subset, the kinds of JSON structures you're likely to want to use for your external data should all be fine.
JSON can only do simple values (string, number), lists and hashes. YAML can additionally reference entities across the document (creating loops) and do all sorts of other nasty things that rubyists found funny to put into a serialization format.
