You can import and export CSV, JSON, etc (including parquet via an extension) which gets you VCS diffs for history. Set operations are built in (though I admit they may be as “natural” as you like), and there’s been decent (though, again, your idea of cumbersome may be different than mine) JSON blob support for some time. It’s a tool that consistently gets underestimated at the same time it’s also consistently improving.
