Surely you're not constructing queries by concatenating JSON to text?

I can only disagree, the ability to just put newlines in a string literal in languages like rust is refreshing.

Of course not, but I do have code that generates SQL and which uses JSON. (And no, the code in question is not subject to SQL injection.)
I fail to see how this is relevant. Your code feeds JSON to SQL, that remains supported. Or your code fetches SQL-generated value from SQL, in which case as literally stated before the JSON5 listing:

Hmmm... It's super convenient that SQL uses single quotes for string literals while JSON uses double quotes. Changing that is going to cause pain.

I really can't recommend this. Yeah it's annoying to have to write \n, but still.
