Speaking as a client implementer, the amount of work required to update my RDAP client to support JSContact was minimal - which speaks to how much easier JSContact is to work with than jCard. You can see every change required in https://client.rdap.org here: https://gitlab.centralnic.com/centralnic/rdap-web-client/-/compare/ba4fd514...c9deae03 Getting JSContact working in the CentralNic RDAP server took a bit more work, but I see it as being worthwhile if it makes life easier for client implementers. We are still in the early days of RDAP, and the amount of RDAP code that exists now is much smaller than the amount of RDAP code still to be written. If we can make a modest change now that makes that future code smaller and easier to write and maintain, we should do so. (full disclosure: I am a co-author on this draft).
