Are we recommending to use it for persistent storage (or are we even ok with it?).
Just thinking that if not we probably shouldn't make any commitment of forward compatibility here...

Doesn't matter what commitment we make. People will use it that way anyway.

Do you have some historical context as for whether we can just deprecate it? (the comment on the decoder for this mentions we are planning to deprecate it)

I just find it a little weird to have us specify the format, keep a decoder implementation but say if you want to encode subclass and implement exactly this format...

Coming back here after seeing the readValueOfType change which is backwards incompatible anyways... why not just drop support for this type?

We said we'd remove it a year ago. We didn't. We missed the boat on deprecation. This is just an attempt to rescue a clean API out of the ashes that remain.
