It can only load json with the api, the nomad CLI can't launch json jobs.

Yes it can.

"For machine-friendliness, Nomad can also read JSON-equivalent configurations. In general, we recommend using the HCL syntax."

But who would use the Nomad CLI for serious work? I use the Terraform provider for Nomad to launch all my jobs.

You may not use it for automation. But you usually do much exploratory work before doing the automation. That's where the various CLIs for all kinds of things come in really handy.

Me? It's handy to be able to dump -> modify -> load jobs when I'm poking at things. No one said anything about serious work, though, they said "load json natively".
