The items that are still open from the original email are:

2) jsonb scalar values are passed to the plperl function wrapped in not
   one, but _two_ layers of references

3) jsonb numeric values are passed as perl's NV (floating point) type,
   losing precision if they're integers that would fit in an IV or UV.

#2 appears to be a quality of implementation issue without any
user-visible effects.

#3 is an opportunity for future improvement, but works as intended right
now.

I think patches for these issues could still be considered during beta,
but they are not release blockers IMO.
