Reduce it further: strings and maps. Arrays can be represented as a map.

Strings can be represented as arrays too. Doesnt make a good argument for removing them.

Doing so would necessitate the addition of another type: character/grapheme cluster.

Representing arrays as maps would impose no additional requirements outside of validation which is already considered as part of the proposal in question.
