These are good questions.

In case it does not add too much complexity on your side I think it is valuable. In case someone wants to use the same visualization for their tool it would be on them to figure out how to generalize the visualization part. On the other hand, even if we never get new users for the visualization, a JSON file will make it easier to build new diagnostic tools for the dataflow framework. One could even do one-off python scripts to help debugging a specific issue.
