Yes you are doing something wrong, naming an argument with a type 
name(json) is not a good idea. Guessing you got caught by this:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/sql-keywords-appendix.html

JSON 	non-reserved 	reserved 	  	

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/sql-keywords-appendix.html

JSON 	non-reserved (cannot be function or type) 	reserved
