Possibly your "bloat query" is failing to consider the toast table
associated with this table?  If the json values are large they'd
mostly be in the toast table not the main table.

(It's unfortunate that VACUUM FULL doesn't tell you about what's
in the toast table.  I'd try just VACUUM VERBOSE here, without the
FULL, to get more info.)
