I don't think it is a concern as JSON does not encode types. It

JSON may not encode the very specific type the language that
created it was using, but it does differ between strings and
numbers. {"value":"1.2345678899999998901"} is different from
{"value":1.2345678899999998901}, virtually any JSON
implementation for any language(there might be exceptions - maybe
TCL) will parse them to different language constructs, and code
that expect one may fail, crash or misbehave when given the other.
