The only thing the string visitor adds compared to a keyval visitor is list support. git grep for 'visit_start_list' and 'visit.*List' shows that devices don't make use of this.
In a world with a QAPIfied command line interface, the keyval visitor is used to parse the command line. In order to make sure that no devices start using this feature that would make backwards compatibility harder, just switch away from object_property_parse(), which internally uses the string visitor, to a keyval visitor and object_property_set().
