I generally prefer JSON as well. PHP's native JSON functions work much better than PHP's native XML functions. I would think that things would be more performant on the JavaScript side too.
I'm not too concerned about requiring a fallback for no JavaScript. The iPhone was the first mobile device to be somewhat bearable to surf the net and it has JS support. Future phones will follow suit. Screen readers do have limited support for JS, they generally do better with the "renderthe JS when the page is loaded, clicking a link sends you to a new URL" approach rather than the "load a huge JS library upfront, clicks make AJAX calls and you always remain at the same URL". As I understand it this new architecture uses the more compatible method.
