More the point Postgres has an actual array data type (and has for a while). You don't need to shove everything into a JSON/JSONB blob unless you absolutely cannot have any sort of schema.

Not only arrays, you can, with some limitations, create proper types with field names, if your ORM supports that you should use that over JSONB if it fits.
