Si, First, a tiddler incode inside in a JSON tiddler does not have a searchable title, this can be helpful sometimes.
On your first questions it all depends on the application/content or data, for example I expect you are saving modified fields as a whole, if you have large text fields and added a period the whole text field would be stored again. On your general Question. - I can think of many things that you can do with JSON tiddlers that you can't do with normal tiddlers - Tiddler field names have character limitations, not much in the content. On closing I think in your propose history tiddlers it would make sense to move them to JSON. Note this is exactly what Monhamads trash plugin does. - Lest a search bring up historical tiddler when you done want them. - You can then easily export/reimport the history tiddlers as one JSON file and more.
