Every URL containing { goes through UriTemplate::expand(), even when withUrlParameters() was never called. Anything in braces is treated as a template variable and removed:

Http::get('https://api.test/posts?where={"status":"open"}');
// sends ?where=

The API gets an empty filter and no error is thrown. Plain Guzzle sends the same URL with the braces encoded.

When URL parameters were added in #45982, it was said that nothing changes if you're not using them. This makes that true by only expanding when parameters are set.

Does this still work?

Http::withUrlParameters([
    'endpoint' => 'https://laravel.com',
    'page' => 'docs',
    'version' => '9.x',
    'thing' => 'validation',
])->get('{+endpoint}/{page}/{version}/{thing}?where={"status":"open"}');
