these "potential crypto attacks" resulted in multiple CVEs and several real life attacks. I think even the Storm-0558[1] could be traced to how hard it is verify a valid JWT, due to some of the over-engineering mistakes that have been involved in the standard's design. I don't know if PASETO would have solved that particular attacks, but the PASETO standard solves some of the most common CVEs we see with JWT libraries: alg=none, Algorithm Confusion attacks and invalid curves.
