Run into the same problem.
My fix was it to add the `array` cast to the model attribute.

/**
 * @return array<string, string>
 */
protected function casts(): array
{
    return [
        'areas' => 'array',
    ];
}

Some background.

I create multiple instances of the same model.
Put them into a collection and use mass inserting in the end to increate save speed.

MyModel::insert($models->toArray());

One of the attributes is a mandatory `json` field.
The field is set on the model but `toArray()` remove the content.

Beside that I tried `asCollection::class` as described in the documentation:
https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/eloquent-mutators#array-object-and-collection-casting
but it did not work.
