Personally I like that data and metadata are kept in the same file. But if it feels bad, could it be an option to use a sidecar file ".aux.xml" for the single file / single layer formats like GeoJSON?
On the raster side, drivers that derive from GDALPamDataset, that is most (in particular JPEG, PNG), etc will automatically benefit from the added serialization of the coordinateEpoch in the SRS element of the .aux.xml file.
On the vector side, we have no such general infrastructure, so that isn't possible currently.
