[2.x] Cast as JSON not possible

[luceos]

Current Behavior

I receive this error when migrating:

  SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
   corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'JSON)' at line 1 (Connection: flarum,
   SQL: update `users` set `preferences_json` = CAST(CONVERT(`preferences` USING utf8mb4) AS JSON))

It originates from: framework/framework/core/migrations/2024_05_05_000001_convert_preferences_to_json_in_users.php

I tried investigating why CAST as JSON doesn't work, but it seems MariaDB does not support this at all? https://mariadb.com/kb/en/cast/
