tbh my biggest problem with all these tools is that I really don't want to have to learn one for each of the json-y formats I have to use every day. If jq supported toml and yaml natively I'd be much much much happier to learn its kind of obtuse syntax.

Have you checked out https://www.nushell.sh/? It seems like exactly what you're describing. Although I know of people who are happily using it as their main shell, I only really use it when I need to read and manipulate data in files.
