I've come across PASETO before, but never heard of Branca before.

I certainly like the lack of footguns in PASETO, but I'm curious about how much real-world adoption it (or indeed other JWT alternatives) really have?

Popularity is never evidence of rigor or soundness. Lots of people do dumb things like lemmings.

While I like the sentiment, it's a little naive; I want to use something that's got real community traction, and is going to be around long-term.
