Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 Uploaded a patch that updates the documentation to mention object and
 array types are valid and that "show_in_rest" can be an array.
 `register_meta()` now issues a `_doing_it_wrong` when registering an
 `array` meta key that shows in the REST API and omits "items" in the
 schema.

 > When registering an "array" meta type to show in the REST API, you must
 specify the schema for each array item in "show_in_rest.schema.items".
