HMP migrate_set_parameter doesn't support JSON. It uses the string input visitor to parse the value, which can only do lists of integers. The string visitors have been thorns in my side since forever. > Any recommendation?

I don't think the string input visitor can be compatibly extended to arbitrary lists. We could replace HMP migrate_set_parameter by migrate_set_parameters. The new command parses its single argument into a struct MigrateSetParameters with keyval_parse(), qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval(), and visit_type_MigrateSetParameters().
