Since there's no standard for this in json, deciding to serialize to str is quite arbitrary.

I personally serialize UUIDs to binary data as it takes less space.

Some serialize it to hexadecimal.

Tbh, it sounds like a good idea but can have it's pitfalls.

I understand, do you think the python standard library should provide a JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder that supports python standard library objects ?

It would be optional to use, but if you use it then any object from the python standard library will just work.
