This is the way; if anything, your requests are in plain text in your version control right next to your code, instead of in a proprietary format or intentionally hidden away in a cloud service (postman).

Yes, "example requests are in plain text, a readable format, and easily put in git" is a good goal.

Postman collections are just JSON, but that JSON is impenetrable to humans and merging algorithms. Rest client shows how a good file format can be a huge advantage.
