Thank you both, Vik, and David, for bing so quick to respond. All is clear now.
It seems to me that the price (giving up the ability to say explicitly what
primitive JSON values you want) is too great to pay for the benefit (being able
to build the semantic equivalent of a variadic list of actua

It does presume knowledge but it precisely defines the outcome:
PostgreSQL arrays are typed and all members are of the same

This:
select jsonb_pretty(jsonb_build_object(
'a'::varchar, 1.7::numeric,
'b'::varchar, 'dog'::varchar,
'c'::varchar, true::boolean
))
allows me to express what I want. That’s a good thing. Are you saying that this:
select jsonb_pretty(jsonb_object(
'{a, 17, b, "dog", c, true}'::varchar[]
