Deploy to Cloudflare produces invalid wrangler.json configuration

I was thrilled to read that the deploy button auto provisions required resources, so I tried to deploy a worker, but the experience isn't all that great unfortunately. I ran into many errors like "Invalid bucket name" and then "xy already exists" because the wizard is not cleanup up on failure.

After many attempts using only "-" or "_" in names, I tried without any special characters and it finally deployed! But it's not working, because the produced configuration is invalid:
{
   /* ... */
   "d1_bknddatabases": [
      {
         "binding": "DB",
         "bknddatabase_name": "bknddata",
         "bknddatabase_id": "<redacted>"
      }
   ],
   "r2_bkndbuckets": [
      {
         "binding": "BUCKET",
         "bkndbucket_name": "bkndbucket"
      }
   ]
}

The template is here: https://github.com/dswbx/bknd-cloudflare-deploy
Here are some attempts: 1, 2, 3

Found it that it works with wrangler.jsonc, here is the first successful attempt

Would be nice to get some more description about the do's and don'ts when using this button 🙂
