We have a lot of data stored in Postgres JSON fields at my work. Around three months ago, we were trying to optimize some queries by adding sub-key indexing to the JSON field. We tried multiple times, but Postgres seemed to keep using sequential scan on the records, rather than the JSON index. So, we just decided to normalize the data and use proper foreign key fields for query performance.
