Problem Statement

Recently, the function load_launchjs has been deprecated. However, it's not clear to me which other function should replace it.

This is an example of config I have that relies on it:

You generally shouldn't have to load them manually anymore. See https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap/releases/tag/0.9.0

In particular also #1237

Custom file names are no longer supported in the same way because they counter the motivation of going with the vscode format to be able to share the configurations between nvim & vscode users.

They'd still be a way to make that work via a custom provider but I don't recommend it

Is the Json file reload when it changes? Also, I just don't like having the same configuration for vscode and neovim because they are simply incompatible (vscode assumes some parameters as default). Moreover, having a folder named .vscode doesn't make sense to me (but I understand that this is not a concern for most people). Maybe just giving the option for the default file name to be loaded would be enough?

It's always read on demand, which has the advantage that removal of config entries now also works.

Not going to add that, you'll have to add a custom provider.
