Beg Report: ED25519 SSH Private Keys human-readable value differs from json value
in troubleshooting with the ansible community, we have discovered that ED25519 SSH Keys generated by 1Password have an incorrect value in the private key value field when using "--format json" flag. ...

I understand your reasoning. However I believe that both ed25519 and pkcs8 keys generated by 1password should put the selected format as the normal value field, and then perhaps both ssh formats be listed under the ssh_formats key.
Ssh clients that I have tested cannot use the pkcs8 private key if the target is using an ed25519 public key. And now it makes a lot more work to move to the newer standard of ed25519 since pkcs8 rsa key standards are considered legacy now.
The current methodology makes using ed25519 keys difficult in automation tools such as ansible.
