It's interesting.  If it becomes widely deployed that would probably be a good
thing; I make no secret of my loathing for IMAP, which is a truly awful
protocol.

Not at all at the moment.  If in the future there are email service providers
who only provide JMAP access, then perhaps getmail could be extended to
support it - however, JMAP looks designed primarily for MUAs to use to modify
the state of the user's mailbox on the server.  It's somewhat less relevant in
the case of getmail, which just retrieves mail for a local process to deal
with.
