Why not just use a json store for those sparse attributes?

EAV performance at large scale is really dreadful. So many queries.

EAV with a query engine and syntax not designed for it is awful. EAV (and AEV and AVE and VAE) with datalog queries is performant, a joy to use, and way more flexible than json stores.
