Thanks, yaml-ts-mode works great.  One problem is that
with the above setting everything is (over)fontified in the buffer.
This is the only mode I have seen where 100% of text has
non-default colors making it so called "angry fruit salad".
In this regard yaml-mode is not better: it fontifies only text in quotes
that makes an unnecessary distinction between quoted and unquoted text.
I know it's possible to configure this in a hackish way:

  (with-eval-after-load 'yaml-ts-mode
    (setq yaml-ts-mode--font-lock-settings
          (seq-remove (lambda (e) (eq (nth 2 e) 'string))
                      yaml-ts-mode--font-lock-settings)))

But what I propose is to add a customizable option to enable/disable
font-lock-string-face on most text to lessen the color burden on users.
