Aws cli isn't the best example because it supports outputting json natively.

I'd expect this to not be a huge problem in practice because this is mostly for those well established unix cli tools of which the output has mostly ossified anyway. Many modern and frequently updated tools support native JSON output.

The s3 sub command annoyingly doesn’t. Which I’m guessing is the reason the GP used that specifically.

Use “aws s3api list-objects-v2”

You can, but it’s not nearly as nice to use. For starters you have to manage pagination yourself.
