The Obsidian canvas file format is now called JSON Canvas and has its own site, specification, and open source resources.

ooh, this is great, lets hope there's some adoption.

Im quite happy with just a few additions to basic markdown, however I've been holding off using canvases much because they're not portable, should Obsidian turn to the dark side so perhaps im missing out.

Any recommended usecases for canvases over notes?

Canvases as a visual index/MOC to collect notes on a specific topic. That’s my main use.

I have used them as a cork board for notes when planning writing (much like Scrivener). I’ve even got templates that have images of an index card to type over.
