Before I looked at the code I assumed it was going to convert... but that's just me!

As it stands a custom encoder is needed to get a JSON dump from the output, which will be a fairly common use case for this function. See https://gist.github.com/kwilcox/c41834297b1a3b732cae3ee16621f6d0.

In the least maybe a little note in the documentation on how to dump the to_dict output to JSON (you also need to include decode_times=False because datetime objects are not JSON serializable either).
