I really love Serde, but one consequence of splitting out the formats into different libraries is that different formats can be of substantially different levels of quality. My impression is that JSON support is best-of-class, but I have no idea about the others. For example, I've been looking at the CBOR library for Serde [1], and it's not obvious whether the library is full-featured, robust, actively supported, etc. Same goes for many of the other Serde formats. At the moment I'm likely to just choose JSON for new projects since I don't want to build on top of something that isn't known to be solid, but it would be really nice to be able to use binary formats for what I want to do. Now that Serde is 1.0 it would be nice to do a push on the individual formats so that users coming in can tell what's active and well-supported vs a (possibly inactive) community contribution.
